For context, my wife is always criticizing how I don'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 don'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 it's cooked and get the same thing.

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

"Tattoos. 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."

The frog legs are making my monocle gay.

[โ€“] Protoknuckles@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

I think gay is tattoo equivalent for cooking...

[โ€“] Ephera@lemmy.ml 8 points 1 year ago

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

This guy foods. He had me when said he has tattoos.

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 was gonna say, it's like he's not even on meth. Are these people even trying anymore?

[โ€“] Umthisguy@lemmy.world 23 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Add acid instead of salt. Like vinegar or lemon juice. Better flavor, healthier, and same effect. Too many people over salt it's god awful.

2 tabs of LSD on my dinner it is!

Hey it's been a couple of hours Are you okay

Actually, acid contributes to tooth decay. The reason sugar causes tooth decay is that bacterial metabolise the sugar using anaerobic respiration, which produces acid. When you eat acid, you skip the middleman and go straight to cavities.

[โ€“] WoahWoah@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago

Salt and acid are two separate (and central) components of building flavor.

I feel like oversalting is a popular attempted cover up for mediocrity. I'm tired of waking up the next morning after a dinner out feeling like the mummy from Brendan Fraser's "the mummy"

[โ€“] Boomkop3@reddthat.com 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[โ€“] LordTrychon@startrek.website 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[โ€“] Boomkop3@reddthat.com 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

To my knowledge, sensory organs also don't dull. You might need glasses or have hearing damage, but dulling is a new one to me

[โ€“] LordTrychon@startrek.website 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Dunno. I was going off common wisdom I'd heard over the years about people over salting their food as they get older.

Mayo clinic says yes though.
