Food & Drink How do you salt?

I mean it's probably only been the last 25 years or so people have been doing it but everything needs a balance. I'm sure French people were putting a pinch of sea salt in desserts before we were born.

French desserts are based on butter on typically French use salted butter. But aside from that there isn‘t much salt in French cuisine. As opposed to british cuisine which has insane levels of salt.

I know both cuisines very well.

I've never added salt to a meal in my life.

Ancient Aliens recently on the TV, may have been re-run, talked about this alien wafer cookie a guy somehow got that did not have any trace of salt and they proposed maybe aliens can't be eating salt like humans can't be eating some toxic shit and somehow that's how people start throwing salt to keep evil away, not just in sumo.

Me too especially now that I'm avoiding salt due to blood pressure. I also don't throw away the tiny packet fast food gives you.

What's crazy is comparing low salt versions to regular versions and they can get by with way lower salt but they try to salt the fook out of you in the normal course of business. They need to learn about food safety.

There's a bakery here that sells expensive "buttered" pies and I recently saw a video clip of them making the pies. What buttered refers to apparently is the thick slices of butter they toss into the pie along with the normal pie filling. WTF? Never heard of that and why? I don't want random chunks of butter in the pie just because. Gonna give people health problems.
