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 don't like Salt. My mother never cooked with salt, so I don't. I only have a salt pot in the house because of others.

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!?

I add salt to ‘bland’ foods like chips but on the whole i don't add extra salt when cooking or to cooked meals in a restaurant etc.

I rarely use salt. Might put some on roast potatoes or wedges but that's about it. Pink Himalayan salt obviously

Salt/sodium, in moderation, is good for you

I have a little salt on meals as it helps prevent cramp.

I use table salt to kill s on the path and in the garden

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

Salt and garlic vinegar and mayo on market chips. Rude not too.

My dad and I love salt. I have very low blood pressure and so did he when he was young, I wonder if it's connected

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.
