Spice of life

Today, I hit rock bottom. I waited too long to go to the grocery store and am out of almost everything. There's no salt left. What can I even cook to be edible without salt? FML

If you can't cook a meal without adding salt you need to visit your GP before you have a heart attack. Also, if you're nowhere near a 24-hour grocery store, skip dinner and go first thing in the morning. Good excuse for extra Pop Tarts.

Salt doesn’t cause that, nor does it cause high blood pressure. I had to prove that to a doctor myself. However if you use salt everywhere, you end up overpowering flavor, but if you have to rely on salt everywhere meal, you may have a deficiency as well somewhere. Believe it or not, i rarely use salt, except maybe a tiny bit, because flavor is something i chase. Salt in high quantities can destroy flavor, and most things like meat already have a brine in it.
