Sorry, but that's dumb. People have different tolerance levels of salt.
Those that habitually use a lot KNOW that you didn't make it their
taste because most others wouldn't eat it.

As Ms P, why do you care? It's not like they salted and then refused to
eat it because it was too salty. Obviously, they were right in salting
it. So you didn't make it to their taste. They saved time and a wasted
taste of food that they wouldn't like.

Stop making hosting about YOU. Make it about your guests and you'll
have a better time.
