yeah,
rubbish cooking.
Although actually, most rubbish cooking has loads of salt in it.

Too much salt is horrid, often none at all is bland. That's why you have table salt I suppose.

It's what you're used to, I guess,
like sugar in tea.
I went right off salt when I was about 5, during lunch at primary school, when I added far too much salt to the blandest stew in the world in a misguided attempt to make it taste of anything at all. Well it did taste of something at all - it tasted of salt - but was even less edible because of it. Then a teacher told me it was bad for my kidneys and I've never put salt on anything since. Which really confused my parents for a while, because putting salt on your chips is "the rules" or something.

Salt on chip shop chips is essential in my view
I had some the other week without any salt or vinegar and it was horrible.
