Salt. Is It Good Or Bad?
24th January 2010
Michael Ruhlman has an opinion.
The fact is, we have struggled to make our food so inexpensive that we’ve basically decided to grow cardboard, which, if you’ve ever tasted it, requires plenty of salt, especially if you intend to serve it to guests. Why do you think food is so cheap? Because there’s nothing of value in it! Including flavor. Thus, the salt.
… salt and tomato is what salting food is all about.
Have you ever tried this? Taste a tomato plain. Taste the same tomato with some kosher salt on it. That shows you the value of salt.
Amen, brother.
