anyone that uses table salt in food is lacking in taste

[dhdjdbrjrkbr]

IMO the only place for table salt is in salt dough or to dye. Was just round a friends and she was seasoning a "home made" soup and poured a load in. I did my best not to raise my eyebrows but seriously even a bit of bog standard Maldon is cheap enough.

I have 6 different salts in the house, and to me table salt is not for food, no depth of flavour or hints and tones, just pure sodium!

My horses have the pink himalayan stuff to lick. I have table salt. Its good for killing dandelions. And to put on chips.

Soup without salt tastes like shit.

You're a bit peculiar OP.

lius-I agree. My mother makes soup without salt and it tastes like baby food.

I have cooking salt. It's cheaper than table salt

Only Kosher salt in this house. I don't care how it's killed. It just tastes soooo good.

Oh bugger. Forgot to buy horse lick again. Thanks for the reminder op.

I have just counted in my kitchen

Maldon
Saxo
Handcrafted Balinese sea salt (get the handcrafted bit)
Chilli sea salt
Sea salt with luxury pepper (?)
Garlic salt
Onion salt
Smoked salt

Can I claim my official salt snob badge from Brown Owl?

If you need SIX different types of salt, maybe you are a little over reliant on it and actually you don't really have a sophisticated palate. I very rarely use salt in anything becuase I prefer to taste the flavour of the food and not mask it with salt, clearly I have a vair sophisticated palate.

If you use pure sodium, there's no way I'm coming round to yours for tea!

If it was pure sodium, apart from the fact that it wouldn't be salt, it would really burn your mouth, if it hadn't already set fire to your kitchen when you tried adding it to your cooking.

Just saying.

I'm a bit embarrassed now as I have six different kinds of salt at home. I don't use them often but I'm a bit of a sucker for buying flavoured salt.

I've got normal sea salt, sea salt with garlic, sea salt with rosemary, black salt, chilli salt, and truffle salt.

I have cornish sea salt and table salt. I'm not putting cornish sea salt in my breadmaker.

We also have dirty rocksalt and white rock salt in the garage. That's seen a lot of use, these past few weeks.

Honestly, are you so bored??

Why don't you do something productive instead of trolling on an internet site?

I really do have pink Himalayan salt - bought it once to find out if it tasted any different from normal salt - it doesn't. I also have some smoked salt bought for the same reason, and that does taste different - a bit. There's some celery salt, too - for the occasional Bloody Mary, and onion salt ditto. Most of the time we use pre-ground sea salt though, can't be arsed with salt mills. I use yer average Saxo for cooking - so how many types of salt is that? Erm...I make it 6 - never realised how pretentious I actually am!

Unsalted soup, eggs and chips are an affront to humanity.

Who knew salt was so interesting!

And I can't believe I've read this thread.

Although it is quite amusing.

You are joking right?

But surely the next question is: how many types of vinegar do you have?

I will only have white balsamic in the house. Brown balsamic is so 90's.

ouryve -it is just pure sodium and chlorine in ionic crystalline ( or solution) form.

Just saying.

Rafa do you need an ambulance yet?

I use this French stuff, here which has minimal processing and a bargain. It's not as white as most salt.

i was just thinking of those yummy salt licks, ToysRLuv!

And celery salt is magic! And so is Marmite. What the hell kind of salt do they put in that? Perhaps I'd better stop buying it...

I don't honestly believe s that someone can't tell the difference between pink h s and TS?!

OP I guess you don't eat any salty food then So no olives, anchovies, crisps, feta cheese, salted peanuts, fish sauce, soy sauce- are they all bad?
