Kolek planning to go pro
No I'm not. Maybe your friends and family don't know how to cook? There are many great restaurants but there are a ton more that are mediocre or crap.
I'm being attacked unfairly but I should have used other words that solid home cooks.
Wile hare is a good meal, but they are very hard to grab. Not sure how much salt is appropriate, though.
Mugster,Give this a whirl…..Slice up a honey crisp, grind a little Himalayan pink salt over the slices, and dip in extra crunchy peanut butter.That sounds really good! I will echo that everyone should have kosher or sea salt. Savory heaven.
We'll agree to disagree. I like plenty of salt and use it generously. What I don't like is 10 vats of it on my food. As for everyone has different tastes? Yes but that's not the issue here. People conform with all sorts of things including food, restaurants, etc. Behavioral psychologists have actually studied this and done a number of tests. I would encourage you to read Predictably Irrational by Dan Ariely. The fact of the matter is when the average person (who is a solid cook) prepares dishes at home, dishes they make that are usually better than most restaurants, they probably use anywhere from 1/5 to 1/10 the amount of salt. I don't like light salt, I like the right portion of salt depending on the dish.
I meant finding a woman who is both zesty and salty but I guess that's an option too
Mayos thoughts on salt
Muggsy:The basic premise of your Rant is excellent . I am firmly in the anti-salt camp. There is Plenty of sodium from natural sources . If people want to salt their food thats why they have a salt shaker .
Mugsy follows eutectic curve principles when applying salt when he cooks.He’s not just a chef, he’s a food scientist.
I'm quite adept in the kitchen. Again, diminutive people being attacked for no reason.
Sounds like you're a little salty.
I don’t understand how you haven’t learned the consequences of bad takes on this board yet.
The WSJ weekend print edition has an article about Salt which touches on a lot covered in this thread. One thing the writer mentioned which I did not know is that in the 50's in Japan there were extremely high stroke rates. The government actually required lower Salt levels (12 grams a day goal )in foods and restaurants and as a result, in a relatively short period of time, those rates decreased dramatically. I think we oversalt to a fault. I will just leave it at that.
