Didn’t the clintons decorate the WH Christmas tree with condiments?

My name is Rod Jaros, and I'm a saltaholic.

Good Morning Ron!

I've never really added all that much salt to food, with the exception of beef. I love salt on my burgers, or especially steak! But for pretty much everything else, I don't really use much salt. But I can't live without condiments. Pepper, spice mixes (Chef Paul's * Magic,) and in particular, hot sauce, of one sort or another ("Louisiana Hot Sauce," "Sriracha," etc)... It can make "low sodium" versions of foods almost palatable. The only problem is that many of those hot sauces are very high in sodium too!

I LOVE V8 juice, but it's really high in sodium, and the low sodium version really sucks... By the time I "spice it up," it's probably got about the same amount of sodium as the "original."

One of these days, we'll be forced to buy little dime bags of white powder on a street corner from some gangsta wearing a "9 mil" and a ball cap with a sideways brim while rap music pounds in the background.

Just look for the Nikes hanging by their laces from the overhead telephone line.

All just for a little salt on our french fries...

I use a lot of this

It is salty but not salt.

When salt and sugar are outlawed, only outlaws will have salt and sugar.

[P.O.E.]

I’m kinda partial to dried hot pepper flakes, myself.

I do not avoid salt but it is my spice of choice with most things. I like a mix of paprika, cumin, and dry mustard for my eggs. I use garlic in most everything. I do like salt (and butter) on my baked potato and popcorn.

I’ll never forget the woman who bragged to me that she didn’t use salt in her cooking or have it on her table as she munched on a bag of potato chips.

LOL!

At table, I don't like being cautioned about salt's presumed harmful properties by a gasping, well-intentioned, vigilant member of the thoroughly indoctrinated salt police. "Salt's bad for you!"

My response would be "You don't know what you're talking about, and until you do, you're not allowed to speak to me." I, my FRiend, am WORTH my salt and I'm damn well going to use it.

[Still Thinking]

Tomato, tomahto...

[MarineBrat]

You know, the ones with the bullet-like cap and one tiny hole that defies passage except by one grain at a time...

I feel the same way about pepper. They cram so much of it into the shaker that it's not free to move around, making it impossible to shake a decent amount onto your food without looking like a horny lib teenager behind the curtains.

Many are the times that I've just unscrewed the cap to shake out a righteous amount of pepper.

(scroll down)

Sodium Deficiency (neurally-mediated hypotension) Symptoms associated with inadequate sodium intake include undue fatigue after moderate exertion, lassitude, headache, sleeplessness, and an inability to concentrate. (9) Neurally-mediated hypotension (an abnormal neurocardiogenic reflex in individuals with structurally normal hearts) is a common cause of recurrent lightheadedness and fainting which can develop as a result of inadequate sodium intake. After an episode, fatigue is prominent and may last for a long while. (10) This abnormal reflex is common in chronic fatigue syndrome. When patients were tested on a table designed to tilt them upright at various angles, all except one showed evidence of neurally-mediated hypotension as compared to only 4 of 14 normal controls; moreover, 9 patients reported complete or nearly complete resolution of CFS once this pathophysiologic response was adequately treated. (11)

Pass the salt, please!
