I can't stand the taste of salt! I even pick it off pretzels! My
boyfriend, however, *loves* salt. When he cooks, he uses quite a bit of sea
salt and I feel so badly, but I can't eat the food. My mom never used salt
when I was growing up, so I just learned to eat food the way it is. I don't
salt potatoes, eggs, veggies, fries, etc. and I always use unsalted butter.
