My wife’s grandmother, who passed away a few years ago, used to always salt her food heavily before even tasting it. And it didn’t matter what was on her plate, just poured salt everywhere. Before the food came out, home or at a restaurant, we used to always make sure the salt shaker was already within her reach. Like clockwork she would still ask, “can someone pass the salt please?”.....our response, “grommie, the salt is right in front of you like it always is.”
