Sorry. :-)
I've just become very sensitive to the taste of salt now, and I used to
be seriouslty addicted to it.

I can't even eat bacon, nor most luncheon meats and some cheeses!
They just taste too salty to me now.

It's been amazing to me how you truly lose your taste for salt when you
make a real effort to eat low sodium for awhile... You can start tasting
the difference within about 2 weeks, and it gets more noticable from
there.
