Today, my dad was putting seasoning salt into his mashed potatoes, when the lid came off and poured a ton of salt into the pot. My parents hate wasting food, so we still had to eat it. I think my taste buds are broken. FML

My dad is very sensitive about his cooking. If I'd refused he would have made my life harder for the next few days. I said I liked someone's steak a little better than his, and it was a year before he cooked another steak. We generally try not to hurt his feelings.

Only one way to tell. Eat some Brussel sprouts and if they're amazing your taste buds are broken.

I just googled how to remove excess salt from a dish. The consensus seems to be to add potatoes to the dish, as they will soak it up. On that basis, I don't see what your problem is.

I don't think taste buds can break. Maybe they were just salted off of your tongue.

My dad forbids anyone from putting seasoning into the common dish (where everyone gets their food from) because it's up to the individual to season their own food to taste. I like this rule because my mother would load everything with salt and pepper and I hate pepper.

Actually it's pretty dangerous to ingest that much salt. Your gonna be sick in your stomach later. Like drinking sea water...

Not good for the kidneys, though you wont die from it this one time, its still not a clever thing to do!
