If you like to salt things, please be by guest. I will not stop you. Same here with not adding salt to food. I love salt n’ vinegar chips, but that’s really as far as it goes for me. Well that and the corn niblets, which I add margarine to and then I like to mix them with mashed potatoes - yum! 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When Peter came to live here.. he would dump salt on everything .. we just used regular table salt then. To stop that we bought a salt grinder ... that reduced his salt habit and he still uses one in his own place now. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carlos Hazday Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 25 minutes ago, mollyhousemouse said: not a fan of ginger, but i'm game to try it once. never cooked with mango, only to make a mango salsa for chicken My old house I had 3 mango trees in the back, during season, the squirrels and I ate our fill and there where still leftovers. I have some great mango recipes. I once made enough chutney it lasted a year eating it regularly. I think I may still have mason jars left over. Try mango salsa on grilled salmon. Fresh mango daiquiris can be dangerous. Frozen mango slices are a great summer treat, like ice cream without adding calories. If you want sugar, mango flan or cheesecake! @Reader1810 I think it's an illusion created by contrasting salt with the watermelon's sugar. Give it a try. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starrynight22 Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 I love salt. I don't often put it on my food these days, but I can recall many times as a child pouring salt in my palm and licking it. I also ate playdoh as a kid. I probably had a mineral deficiency.

Carlos Hazday Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 @mollyhousemouse Here's my ignorance showing, Molly. Do Mexicans use plantains the way Central American and Caribbean people do? To stones and mariquitas require salt! Although I prefer using garlic salt on those. And fresh avocados when you eat them by the slice! Although lime (not lemon) juice or a light vinegar (rice) help highlight the flavor too. It all about what we like though. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I recall, there's a restaurant called Salt in the Tampa Bay area with countless types used in their recipes. And I'm pretty sure there was a similar one in Australia's Hunter Valley. I was there doing research, I just didn't know it at the time. LOL My favorite meal in Oz was chili-salt crusted seared tuna. I asked for the recipe, the chef was a selfish pain, and I've never been able to duplicate it. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
