I don’t eat salt the majority of the time but occasionally I get a craving and I make mashed potato with plenty of salt

All of the above.

Plus Chips. Especially cheesy chips.

Chorizo, or any cured meat for that matter
Bombay mix
Salted butter on crackers with mature cheddar

Thank you all, lots of great ideas, personal favourites so far marmite on those salted crackers, salted popcorn and the crisps. The problem is I’m not really hungry. But now I have lots of ideas for when I am! Although I draw the line at pork scratching and crackling. Not my kind of thing!

Miso soup/ soup noodles!
And plenty of other Chinese like salt n pepper meat etc.
Depends where from most Chinese places it's good n salty!

Crisps pork scratchings etc obv

Cook a roast or steak and generously salt for crispy salty skin.. fattier better eg lamb pork but chicken works really well. I put lots of salt and also pepper. Gravy is salty.

Chips home or shop with plenty of salt

Cheese straws

Marmite as pp mentioned

Love salt!!!

Fresh oysters

When Oxo cubes were soft back in the day before crumbly I used to eat them! As a kid. Delicious. I'd lick them and nibble bits off. Not bosh a whole one!

Oh yes samphire. I love it. Love salty food so much. I get envious when I see cow licks tied to gate posts Grin

I'm pregnant and have been craving salt for months - the thing that finally felt like it satisfied the craving was a big bowl of ramen.

In fact, thanks to this thread, it's now all I can think about!

Floralnomad · 04/07/2021 19:53

Pickled gherkins wrapped in bacon and fried , not something I’d eat myself but apparently it’s the go to for normal salt cravers who like pickled gherkins

NoHeavenNoMore · 04/07/2021 19:56

KFC or anything with red salt on it. Seems 10x saltier?!

BiscuitsNoMore · 04/07/2021 20:00
