For context, my wife is always criticizing how I donโ€™t add enough salt to the dishes I cook. I also have no tats. She does.

But at least you can always add more salt lol

You need to add salt as you cook. Yes, you can add it afterwards, but you donโ€™t get the same flavor layering, food texture, salt penetration, and for some foods, the necessary chemical reactions in your dishes. In some sense, I feel confident that your wife is right based purely on the fact that you think you can just add salt after itโ€™s cooked and get the same thing.

Iโ€™m a white dude with no tattoos, but I have this argument all the time with my family. โ€œYou can add hot sauce and salt afterward for yourself!โ€ Thatโ€™s not how this works Susan. Thatโ€™s not how any of this works. All of cooking is chemistry and physics! And get over it! If Iโ€™m cooking Iโ€™m using salt and guajillio peppers!

โ€œTattoos. Coke. And chronic stress. These were the ingredients chosen to create the perfect line cooks. But Head Chef Marco accidentally added an extra ingredient to the concoction: Chemical Gay.โ€

Eating too much salt is not healthy and throwing spicy peppers when the one that are going to eat donโ€™t handle spicy is just being an asshole tbh.

Itโ€™s normal when Iโ€™m making fucking chili Susan! And thereโ€™s a difference between too much salt and adding the appropriate amount of salt.

And research has shown that the most effective way to not have problems with too much sodium in the blood/high blood pressure is to drink more fucking water.

And the person that complains to me about the salt levels in my food? A) didnโ€™t pay for the fucking food and B) drinks 12 fucking diet Dr peppers a day because โ€œthey are healthier.โ€ So fuck em!

Yeah, it generally works fine for sauces, but youโ€™re not going to get salt to permeate into your noodles from just throwing it on top afterwards, for example.

Went to a new Asian place. Cheff had no idea what vegan means. Cheff is on the phone with his family while taking my order. Cheff starts singing in mandarin while cooking. Best Asian restaurant in the city.

I feel like oversalting is a popular attempted cover up for mediocrity. Iโ€™m tired of waking up the next morning after a dinner out feeling like the mummy from Brendan Fraserโ€™s โ€œthe mummyโ€

Sometimes, yep. Other times people just get desensitized from eating too much of it.

People also tend to add more seasoning (particularly salt) as they get older and their senses dull.

To my knowledge, sensory organs also donโ€™t dull. You might need glasses or have hearing damage, but dulling is a new one to me
