Some people need to pour on the salt for their food to be considered “salty” or “salty enough.” Other people are so sensitive to salt that they hardly ever add it. Which end of the spectrum are you on?
If you do add salt to your food often, we think you need this salt and pepper shaker holder for your RV table. It’s adorable!
When you’re eating, do you usually add salt to your food? We’re talking about when you’re eating it, after the food has been prepared, not while cooking. Thanks!

I do not add salt to my prepared food. In Europe they do not have salt and pepper shakers on the table. It’s considered an insult to the chef, meaning they do not know how to cook. If you don’t like the way they have prepared their food, your free to go to another place to eat.
Good point! I had to stop adding salt for health but I certainly use a lot more pepper for flavor.
Use too much salt. I’m addicted.
Me too. I’m addicted to flavor. If it’s bland, I salt it up.
I used to salt everything before even tasting it. When I was diagnosed with hypertension, high blood pressure, the salt shaker left the table. Amazing how much better the food tasted. We also quit using canned vegetables and buy low sodium soups.
Depends on what it is and if it’s home cooked knowing no salt has ever been on it. And it is always ground sea salt. Prepackaged has tons of salt already in it.
Only when eating out or eating corn on the cob, then plenty of butter and of course salt. DW doesn’t season before cooking but usually does after the cooking is done. She’ll usually she’ll always tell me if I need to salt something.
Salt. Never. Pepper. Pile it on. 🙂
So true, except for popcorn and french fries…
I taste first, usually a couple of bites and then will probably have to add salt.
I do the cooking at home, so almost never need to adjust after cooking. But, when we eat out some foods are never salted, or not enough. Especially hash browns. I asked once if they could be salted during cooking & was told no because it could put salt in sometimes else’s food. So hash browns & other potatoes (other than fries) get the salt without tasting first.
Usually the only thing I salt is potatoes, but I always taste first before salting anything. I do use coarse salt when making cookies. I try to add enough of other seasonings for flavor when I cook (which is often) so we don’t have so much salt. Also coarse ground salt AND pepper is delicious on fries and hash browns and baked potatoes and occasionally on popcorn (with a touch of parmesan as well)!
I think that I stopped salting things I eat around 1974. I stopped using pepper around that same time.
How can you eat without pepper? :>)
I stopped adding salt to my meals in 1972 after my tour in Navy. While on ship the medical staff had us take salt pills as we perspired so much working in the engine room.
I voted yes but actually we use a product called no salt which is not really salt at all.
In Combat in the Mekong Delta we were fighting in high humidity, and extreme heat, and had to carry 2 quart soft sided canteens to keep hydrated. I was a Combat Medic ( 2 Purple Hearts but thank God survived!) The salt pills prevented heat injuries like heat exhaustion and heat stroke, to the point we rarely had a soldier affected. I became so accustomed to salt, that all of my life, I salt any food before I eat it. Never have had blood pressure issues, or any blood tests, that required a doctor to advise me against the use of salt. So perhaps my body simply adjusted to it, and at 75 years old, am still an active person. So to each their own choice.
Thank you.
I like a little food with my salt.😁😁😁
Never add extra salt when our food is plated, but when cooking we use heart healthy no salt ( KCl)
Everything needs salt
AMEN!!!
I use NO Salt or Lite Salt
Rarely. Since I started using HelloFresh, and it calls for salt in half the steps, (which I have to be careful on) I don’t need it. I’ve been cutting down on the salt by adding lemon, lime or orange juice to the proteins (depending on the recipe) and I found I barely need salt.
For some reason I only add salt to potato entrees, a little on fries and in mashed.
