pepper, but I taste stuff first...why would I season something before I've tasted it?



A lot of people like bland but salty food.


I like lower salt but, more bite (pepper).


When I go over to my mother in law's, I know there is too much salt because she sucks at cooking. Extra salt just covers up a poorly prepared/seasoned meal. If you are adding lots of salt, consider that you may not be seasoning it well(need herbs, garlic, etc).


I put pepper on everything at my mother in laws to try to drown out the extra salt covering her bad cooking ability.


I tend to cook with a lower amount of sodium in my food. Usually half any suggested amount or not at all. I expect that people put their own salt to their taste in.


The one thing about salt is, the more you eat on the regular basis, the more you need to get the same taste. People who eat a lot of salt, need to add salt because they can't taste the regular amount of salt in the food. Just like if you eat something sweet then try to drink pop, the pop doesn't taste nearly as sweet as it would if you didn't eat the sweets before drinking the pop.

wth? who pours salt on pizza?

i never salt food that iss given to me though. i have family members who drown things in salt and pepper.

too much salt is bad for your heart and your brain. salt is addicting and takes a few weeks to realize food tastes okay without dumping salt on it.

i use no more than a sprinkle of salt when i cook a meal unless im doing something like brining.

pepper is more likely, I weaned myself off salt for the most part. If I eat at a fast food place I have to ask them to give me unsalted fries... even those have enough salt on them for me to taste it, just from being tossed into the fry bin.

Me, as I said. Although I don't pour it on, I sprinkle it like most people do.

There's plenty of cheese on pizza, and people still put Parmesan cheese on it. I like the way that the combination of the taste of salt and grains of salt on top of the melted cheese go together. I also tend to highly salt foods which have some type of tomato sauce on them because I like those flavors together.

yep, when I "detoxed" from salt, it was a while before food started not tasting bland all the time. I didn't even realize how much difference I'd made until I ate french fries again, and they almost gagged me.

I don't eat it on crackers, but I do add pepper to cottage cheese if I'm eating it without fruit.

I only add salt to over easy eggs and hash browns. Otherwise I don't tend to re-season anything.
