I hope this will be deemed On-Topic, but you’ve reminded me of the old riddle:
Q- How do you know if a marriage is going to last?
A- They’re on their second bottle of Tabasco sauce.
I don’t salt, never have. I can’t say that I hate the taste of salt because I’ll eat salty french fries or potato chips, but I never got into the habit. I also don’t usually eat french fries or potato chips and come to think of it I’ve always disliked pretzels.
I do put salt into food when a recipe calls for it. I’ve never found myself adding extra salt to a recipe.
I salt my food during preparation and only add salt at the table if it is undersalted, but I’ll eat it undersalted rather than risk insulting my host if I am a guest. It’s pretty rare for food to be served undersalted in a restaurant.
There are a few things that I’ll add salt to at the table, if it’s something that can be salted during prep (like corn on the cob,) but in general I don’t reach for the shaker very often.
I love adding sea salt to starches and meat. I’m trying to cut back, although I’m another one whose blood pressure hovers around 90/60. I eat a lot of lunches at our school cafeteria, and most of them are underseasoned. I see a lot of kids salting before trying a bite-- from the posts above, I wonder how many of their parents do the same thing.
I never salt my food, and use salt only on the rare occasions that I cook something (such as adding it to boiling water for pasta). I recently noticed that I have almost finished up the 26 oz. Morton salt container that I brought with me when I moved into my current apartment in 1988.
I never cook bland boring food, nor eat in a restaurant that serves it. Why on Earth would I want to?
Had to select your “Please do not select this option.” Some stuff I salt, some not, and all that I do salt in varying degrees.
I hope some of the others here are saying the same.
I voted never, but I guess there’s a small bit of a lie in that. If I’m eating French fries, I might salt them first. Usually I don’t, but I might.
Heh; I had a brain fart when we ran out of Tabasco sauce and accidentally bought two bottles. That’s pretty much a lifetime supply. 
I salt French fries and soft pretzels, that’s it. I’m more into pepper & garlic.
What? Not in our house (though I use other types of hot sauce more frequently).
Salt not so much. Pepper almost every meal. I do taste it first and try not to do it when at someone else’s house.
This is hysterical. If you’re eating in a restaurant, then you’re consuming a ton of salt.
I don’t want to speak for RealityChuck, but I doubt he’d disagree with you. He was responding to another poster, and saying that he doesn’t prepare bland boring food himself, and doesn’t eat in any restaurant that prepares bland boring food, so he doesn’t have to *add *any salt to whatever he’s cooked or ordered. I doubt he’d disagree that restaurants use plenty of salt.
I wouldn’t be so sure.
I only put salt on chips/french fries.
Otherwise no.
I picked “never” because I always make my own food except when a friend and I go out to eat, and always season my food whilst in the preparation, but that’s not true – French Fries. I rarely get them eating out, but if they aren’t salty enough, I can recall salting them in the past.
When I’m cooking a big slab of meat I will cut off a chunk and salt it heavily. Just one or two pieces.
I see 14 other scofflaws here =)
I taste my food and add salt or soy sauce if it needs it. So there is no exact good response.
Pasta?
Agreed.
Rarely use salt here, only on corn on the cob and sometimes on French Fries. Do not cook with salt either…we are big garlic and onion powder users here…and I love oregano…
