When I was a kid, I used to pour salt on the meat that was served to me. Later, I figured out that this was because plain broiled meat tasted so horrible to me, that I was trying to cover up the taste. Blah.
In my adulthood, I have avoided most salt. I became adept at using spices, herbs, etc., and I am always amazed when anybody adds salt to things that I cook. The relatively extreme saltiness of restaurant food sometimes causes me to reject a dish. I don't eat in restaurants often, any more.
I find that I enjoy very small amounts of salt on certain foods, especially potatoes and cooked greens. I use the salt sparingly, on the surface of the food, right before I eat it. I use kosher salt or sea salt, and a tiny amount is amazingly satisfying.
I know that there has to be a balance of salt, potassium, etc., and plenty of water, in order to avoid certain problems. I do feel better when I drink plenty of water, and take a small amount of salt each day. My BP is excellent, despite my weight problems and my age.
Now, it's time to go eat my daily banana (unsalted).
