Guest guest Posted January 24, 2012 Report Share Posted January 24, 2012 I agree, it so seems that the general 'palate' has become overly used to high salt and sweet content to be 'normal'! I have long cooked with less salt and always tell diners at our table to add to their taste. Many will salt BEFORE tasting! My dad used to grouse about this to me and never ever listened to the logic that one could ADD salt while overly salty would ruin the food. The worst food for salt is french fries - they are either way too salted or lacking of any ;-) Katcha > > Tilley, thanks for those ideas.

Guest guest Posted January 24, 2012 Report Share Posted January 24, 2012 Jain, I have found that I no longer eat FF or chips, etc. because they are too salty. And that's a great bonus for my health too. It started a long time ago when my favorite chips in the big bag came buy one get one free, but you could not get one for half price. That made me angry. I didn't need one big bag never mind 2, so I stopped buying them altogether. Then when they changed the oil at the fast food restaurants I did not like the taste anymore(even if it was healthier), I stopped getting those. At regular restaurants I look for and always ask for substitutions for fries. I realize how much my choice of foods has changed over the last few years.
