salt or pepper?

Question

what do u like better?

Answer 1

Pepper! the hotter, the better!

Answer 2

Oh, salt is the winner, no doubt. I do like pepper, and often plenty of it. But salt is the one and only seasoning that I couldn't possibly do without.

People seem to be "in the dark" when it comes to salt. It's the most abundant, and therefore the cheapest, mineral on earth, and people seem afraid of it.

Salt---well, sodium, anyway---is an essential nutrient, and yet people go so far as to completely eliminate salt from their cooking. Sure, processed foods do contain added salt...it's a preservative. But fresh foods of any kind will benefit from the addition of salt, in amounts so small as not to pose a health threat, even in the most sodium-restricted diet.

Apart from all of its other properties, salt is actually a chemical catalyst. It reacts on a molecular level with our taste buds, and actually amplifies the flavors of foods. It doesn't even have to be in large enough quantities to be detectable.

Answer 3

Since I don't cook with salt, I would have to say pepper.

Answer 4

Hard choice... If it is natural sea salt then salt....but then again, is it chili pepper or black pepper, cause chili pepper might tip the scale that way.

Answer 5

Somethings need one, other things need the other.
Tomato requires salt to bring out the flavour and finely ground black pepper to give it a zing.
