I never knew tuna was salty. The problem is other than tomatoes I’m not a fan of salt table salt/rock salt on many things. DP’s idea was chips with a pot of salt to dip them in but it doesn’t really do it for me.

Marmite! Why on earth didn’t I think of that? So obvious and just the kind of thing I fancy.

Have you tried to “proper corn” crunchy corn? It’s amazingly salty.

TyneTeas · 04/07/2021 17:50

Chorizo and cheese

UnicornMadeOfPinkGlitter · 04/07/2021 17:51

Anything with salt on but you’ve said you don’t like salt on things.
Love a portion of chop shops chips with salt and vinegar. Get them home and add more salt. Dh always moaning at me for it.
Halloumi is fab too. Make it nice and crispy and that salty goodness!! Yum Yum

Cazzovuoi · 04/07/2021 17:53

Just suck on a chunk of rock salt. That way you get the saltiness, mouth action but no calories!

IHaveBrilloHair · 04/07/2021 17:57

Parmesan.
Anchovies.
Pretzels.
Olives.

Salty food is my favourite.

SoddingWeddings · 04/07/2021 17:57

Crackling! I've just finished our roast pork dinner and I overdid the salt on the skin but fuck me the crackling was worth it!

IHaveBrilloHair · 04/07/2021 17:59

Anything smoked.

IHaveBrilloHair · 04/07/2021 18:00

Pickles.

Screamingcowboy99 · 04/07/2021 18:02

Goats cheese.

Do you actually need salt as advised by a doctor? Or are you craving the taste?

If you actually need it, just get some of those rehydration sachets.

KingdomScrolls · 04/07/2021 18:03

Cheese on toast with marmite under the cheese, olives, prosciutto/Parma ham, smoked mackerel, make yourself a little salty platter
