I tried going on a no-salt diet.
First thought: "Salt? Big deal!"
Big deal until I tried cooking without salt. Everything tasted bland (paper bland). I tried putting paprika, turmeric, lemon, garlic powder, onion powder, anise, italian seasoning, curry powder, white pepper, black papper and the entire McCormik product line on fish, meat or poultry, but everything still tasted like paper. It came to a point that cooking became a big effort, and eating a chore.
I'm reminded of this bible passage c/o Armind:
"You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled by men." -- Matthew 5:13
