People love salt. People pour it over all sorts of things. Food manufacturers put in their stuff.
I personally hate it. My mum did the cooking when I was growing up and never added salt to anything. As a result I can really taste it and it doesn't take much for something to be far too salty for me. I never put salt on chips. I don't like salty crisps.
Am I alone in this dislike? I certainly seem to be in the minority. |

I put a little bit on some food but certainly not loads, we watched an episode of Come Dine With Me where a girl doused the stuff on every course!!!!  |

I use Thai salt It's also called Chicken Bullignon, it quite expensive but oh so nice,it's a moist salt comes in sealed foil lined pouches. I am a pepper addict though, ground black pepper on everything, the one thing I never ever use for myself though is sugar, totally don't like it on anything! |

I can cook with it without. Using salt can realy help cooking taste good.
But I am insulted if someone adds salt to a dish I serve before they even taste it. 
Gimme a chance, at least see if I got it right, and then add some, you know!? |

It was a staple to cook everything with salt when growing up so I used to do the same but I hardly put salt in anything now.
Got to have salt on chips though - can live without vinegar on chips, but not salt

I can't take too much salt, if I do I need water at hand constantly for a while.
It's a race thing too (like milk as an adult) - a lot of Caucasians can take quite a lot of salt I think (probably too much tbh - it's not great for you in large amounts).
Be careful with kids and salty foods too (like Marmite apparently, which I think they claimed to be an infrequent snack when pressured on this) - they can take a lot less than adults. Salt is a preservative and adds taste - so check the kid's treats, especially cheesy ones.

Sparingly except for pasta. Not sure of the history of salt in cooking, was used as a preservative before fridges. It reduces the boiling temperature of water, don't know if that is significant. Love salt and vinager on chips even they dont need it. |
