[net.cooks] Salting without tasting

ggw (05/26/82)

	Salting food without tasting it first is indicative of one of two
things:
	1)	A boorish clod with no sensitivity for the feelings of the
		cook. (This person is likely also to order a bottle of
		Ketsup in a fancy restaurant.)
or
	2)	A pathological condition ( craving for salt ) that should
		be looked into by a physician.

	One of my uncles was of the first type, that was until his sister-in-
law (mother) and another brother (father) unmercifully salted his plate
before serving it to him on time. Sure 'nuf, he sat down, salted his food
and then took the first bite.  Without a word, he drained his water glass
regularly and ate his meal.  He did at least taste the food first (for
a while ) after that.
