I had a discussion once with someone that said if you salt your food before you taste it, you're opinionated (or something along that line). Probably an old HR wive's tale.

I explained to this person that how salty the food is while cooking is NOT the same as some salt crystals hitting your mouth with each bite. This is especially true with breakfast foods such as eggs and hash browns. If you happen to order ham or bacon, then you know what I mean by the difference between salty food and 'salted' food.

I don't particularly care for salty foods, but I'll put a tiny pinch right on my egg for the effect. I couldn't do hash browns, or any potato recipe, w/o some fresh salt at the table.

What kind? It's all salt to me and I'm aware of my total intake.
