….wouldn’t be a good combo for sure

This stuff.

Used to buy it online from Fitz’s at London Borough Market after my niece bought it for me one Christmas.

Bit addictive and makes you eat unhealthy stuff like pork pies to accompany it.

Going to re-order some for Christmas and I’m blaming it on this thread.

Its like that bleeding Kit Kat thread, it made me go and buy choc digestives

He doesn't eat rice, unless it's from a takeaway

….not a big fan of putting condiments on food, certainly never add salt as it’s a bit like putting sugar in tea.

Brown sauce on a bacon butty would be about my limit, although I like Branston pickle accompanying one of Mrs Eggs home made steak pies.

So when you cook, you don't season any of the ingredients?

I've been making Tim Anderson's tonkatsu sauce recently. It stinks out the house when you are making it, but it's so good and very versatile. You can keep it in the fridge for ages too

….rarely and certainly not with salt.

Is this a sodium/blood pressure/better diet thing?

Is this a sodium/blood pressure/better diet thing?

….fingers crossed I’ve always been fine with BP, but it’s certainly part of a better diet as I started getting on a bit.

I find it a bit like sugar in tea now, it puts me off the taste of food if there’s too much in. Obviously it’s an ingredient in lots of things, I don’t avoid it to that extent but I couldn’t eat a portion of chips with salt on.

Does make me smile when people put salt on their meal without even tasting to see if it’s required.

if I can't have salt on my chips, I'd rather not have the chips.

…..amazing how you quickly get used to it and then much prefer it that way.

i agree with when you say 'Does make me smile when people put salt on their meal without even tasting to see if it’s required.'. it drives me insane when i cook a nice meal and people (my parents) cover it in salt without trying it

however, salt is a fundamental part of cooking - from texture to flavour enhancer, for eg, the way the Japanese cuisine uses salt. Adding salt to food shouldn't make it taste more salty, but should make things taste/feel better - which includes adding sweetness and acidity

….agree, I’m sure it’s in lots of stuff I enjoy but I never use it as a table condiment.
