S and P or not

Hetty after avoiding salt all my adult life because of high BP, I found out my salt level was low. When I mentioned to the GP that I don’t use salt she asked why and said it only needs to be avoided/restricted if advised by the consultant!

I have never put salt and pepper on the table. If anyone wants it, they have to ask for it. I have also rarely ever used it in cooking.

I don't put salt on the table, but I love a bit of sea salt, I sometimes roast new potatoes tossed in oil, sea salt and Rosemary, but I'm aware that salt isn't really good for us, so don't do it that often.

If I were to think about it, I really like certain salty foods like anchovies for example, not everyone's cup of tea.

When you have a very expensive set of Aga cruets, you show them off!

Ha ha! This is sooo Spangler.

The idea of insulting the cook is about trying the food first to see how it tastes before adding seasoning. If you try it first then want to add salt or pepper that's fine. That's the rule in our house anyway.

Spangler, what’s the 3rd one for ?

Don't tempt me!
To be honest I wondered that H, but on closer inspection I think that those are the available colours.
(Spangler left the building a while ago.)

S+P always on the table. I don't season anything I cook but do put sea salt on eggs and tomatoes. Pepper on quite a few things. Enhances the flavour for me.
Husband has salt and pepper on everything. He's no BP problems but gets cramp attacks. Not through dehydration/exercise. As well as salt on food he will drink a salt solution when in absolute agony with cramps in both his legs as well as a magnesium spray/rub, which helps slightly.
