Chefs and Salt

     Once again the salt debate raises it’s ugly head. I like to watch those chef shows on television but time and time again I hear the head chefs yelling at the others chefs about their food being bland and without taste or flavor because of the lack of seasoning which to them means salt, the ultimate flavor enhancer.

     I fully agree and admit that food without salt is dull and by putting salt on the food you are bringing out the best flavor possible, but it’s not good for most of us and we can’t continue to put it on everything so we can enjoy our food better.

     I understand that the chef who uses it a lot will have better tasting dishes and win these competitions, however wouldn’t it be great if they found a saltless way to enhance the food. The bad thing is that the chefs with the better tasting dishes will go on to be very popular and sought after and many people will flock to buy a meal that they’ve cooked without knowing just how much salt is in their food.
