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!

Do you buy black salt flakes with magic beans?

I've got rock salt still in cellophane Xmas present from last year in the larder, as well as celery salt and some weird ass funky Danish shit which is sandwich salt of all things.

This is, without doubt, the best thing I have ever read in Mumsnet. OP, are you a bit peculiar?

And wizard of toss the Morrussey curated salt collection thing made me cry with laughter.

P.S- a quick count up has shown that, including dishwasher and rock salt for the steps outside, there are 7 types of salt in this house. All the fancy ones were (shit) gifts and haven't been touched.

I like pouring table salt on slugs...little frothy salt mounds.

Heaven knows they're miserable now.

admiral you charming man.

I have chilli salt, perri perri salt, garlic salt, rock salt that i love to put in and on my food!
There's also maldon somewhere in the cupbord for cuts and infections.
We've also had table salt.
No salt snob here, i just like to put spices on my food to liven them up.
If your friend annoyed you op, i would annoy you even more.

I have Peruvian blue salts

Disclaimer. It was bought as a Christmas stocking present for me

It's the soup thing that makes it so ridiculous - you like fancy salt on your chips, fine. But to claim you can tell the difference dissolved in soup, how much are you putting in? Is it salt-flavour soup?

And what is "home made" soup. Presumably different from home made. Did she open a tin and pour it into a pan or something?

Table salt contains an anti caking agent..all the other salts may or may not
All the rest of the "flavour" is added by...contaminants....not " desirable terroir" indicaters..but stuff that can't be easily extracted
This thread is like..putting people down for not having food in their fridge containing blue plasters, fingernails and bits of rodent..get your gimpy little tasytbuds around that concept

I'm just relieved to hear the soup won't have contained cake

You can only take away the inverted commas for "home made" soup if the salt is home made too.

Beauteous

But but but... Darkness... Blue catering plasters add colour, texture and a bit of 'je ne sais quoi' flavour, fingernails add something to chew on, especially in a soft thing like jelly, and Tesco has form in adding dead things to salad bags..... Perhaps like with salt, it's best to add your own.

Well I have decanted mine into a large Kilner jar with a jaunty patchwork label. Whilst cooking I grab a fashionable finger full and throw it artistically into my culinary creations. This is posh even if I do say so myself! yabu get a grip

Noisy I have a large cork lidded bottle, a bit like a sand bottle with different layers, but it's all different types of salt instead - it's been there about ten years so it's vintage too - please say I win the salt top trumps!

Makes me own flavoured salt innit
More posh than all of you

You need to get out a bit OP

I'm obviously doomed to never have this knowledge bestowed upon me.

I just cannot enjoy life the way I did before I saw the salt

I've just enjoyed some salt n shake crisps without the salt.
I am exquisitely cultured.

I have heard that pee is quite salty so I'm chiseling the crystals of the spare toilet (dh's job to clean) and sell them on. snaps trophy

Oh no oh no... We are plumbing the depths. Happy licking mousmous!

To be fair to the OP, I have some of that posh Cornish sea salt that you can buy in Tesco and it's much nicer than table salt; sort of sweet and less bitter.
Yes: less salty because it is full of contaminants. Yes, because it's contaminated by the sugar from the wee of a diabetic manatee. if you took away the manatee wee, it would taste like salt again.
