Seriously???

[Capt Steve]

My bride and stopped at Arby's this morning armed with a two for one coupon for their deluxe chicken sandwich. When our order was ready I asked for a package of salt... you know the tiny little paper pack that holds about 1/10 of the RDA.

"We don 't have any salt, in fact "they" won't even let us have it in the store" I was told. Now this is a tasty sammy, deep fried chicken patty with bacon, cheese and Mayo but, IMHO: it could use a little salt... Doh! What was I thinking?

"So what do you put on your fries?" I asked. Best deer in the headlights impression ever!

LMAO

Here's your answer.

I had that happen at local Taco John's, potato oles with no salt?? Nope.

 

[ladder13]

Haven’t used any extra salt in decades.

 

[Protocall_Design]

I keep a small travel salt shaker in the glove box for such occasions. It does get used once in a while.

I LOVED Arby's Beef & Cheddar with horsey sauce back in the day. The Curly Fries weren't bad either, if you dredged them in lots of ketchup.

I hadn't eaten there in decades, but the Mrs and I hit their drive-thru earlier this year because we had a coupon.

Never again...
We ordered completely different things and both had Montezuma's revenge within a few hours.

There's better food than fast food, but sometimes we backslide.

Ruthie is a certified saltaholic. In the darkest, deepest reaches of her purse/B-4 bag she keeps a small Ziploc bag with salt packets just for those rare occasions.

Bless her heart.

There's 990mg of sodium in an Arby's De lux Chicken Sandwich. They probably don't give out salt with it because they don't want people stroking out on their property.

My wife is salty. She always carries several, actually more than several, packets of salt in her purse that she steals from Whataburger, just in case she needs them. Same reason I keep a bottle of hot sauce in my glove box.

I'll just leave this here:

Is it that the food needs salt, or have many of you been conditioned to believe that it needs salt.

 

[rwsmith]

I HOPE......

Haven’t used any extra salt in decades.

I HOPE that my fries are already salty enough. Most food is plenty salty. But if my fries ain't salty.

And I also experienced the pepper packages that look like they were loaded with a light charge of Bullseye. I had to get a couple more to put enough pepper to see on my food.

Don’t even know where my S&P shakers are…SERIOUSLY.

Virtually any fast food meal you buy is heavily salt laden.

Virtually any fast food meal you buy is heavily salt laden.

That goes for all processed food. Take a look at how much sodium is in that can of healthy peas on your pantry shelf.

 

[twodog max]

I don't worry about the trivial things that someone has decided is bad for a person. All that is mostly just opinion.

It's just that when you put extra salt in everything, and do this for years, everything needs extra salt to taste sufficiently seasoned.

But, if you do cut back, way back, while at first everything tastes way too bland, after a while it starts to taste just fine, sufficiently salted...
