You can leave salt out of 90% of dishes without noticing.
False. I'd argue 90% of recipes need more salt
I’m not going to downvote you for stating an unpopular opinion when you were asked for one but I think you crossed a line here, pal…

You wanna get wild?
Thats what you meant to say.
as someone who ate meals cooked by people with your opinion, we do notice. it is more likely that you got used to use so little salt that you don't notice
A connoisseur of English cuisine, I see!
I don't know how to leave salt out of fried sausage/bacon. Also chips/fried potatoes are part of the 10%.
All that exploited spice trade and you're still eating like its WWI rationing.

I'm German. I was expressing my confusion how my saltless opinion put me in the British corner.
I regularly use spices local and foreign, just not much salt.
Ah, I'm sorry if I caused any confusion or offense! I fully support you reducing salt, and it wasn't a dig at your opinion, just me associating a lack of salt with the dire state of a lot of British "cooking". Being from England myself, I've been subjected to some truly awful, flavourless meals over the years :)
Salt participates in chemical reactions of cooking beyond just being salty. You do notice in other ways.
I know someone who had to go on a salt-free diet for a while. She said that she once broke down crying because of how bland everything tastes.
My wife also has an aunt who's doctor told her to cut back on salt. She interpreted that as no salt, ever. You can always tell what dish she brought to dinner.
