I always add ground cloves to my pumpkin pie or similar dishes like pumpkin creme brulee. As long as you don't put too much in it adds a really nice dimension to everything.
I think the human body needs some amount of salt in our diet to live also
I think I heard in the past it was fashionable for the very wealthy and powerful, when they wanted to die, to consume a ludicrous amount of salt as their method of choice. Because a) it was basically literally money they were overdosing and b) its apparently agonizing as hell?

Not a problem in the USA for the most part, looking at sodium content in most stuff.
Yeah it was more of a concern in like antiquity I think.
I believe they used to play Roman legionaires partly with salt.

DepressperadoI just wanted to see you laughingin the pizza rainRegistered Userregular
we sure do!
that's one of the ways you can die of water poisoning!
my friend's dad was such a bad alcoholic that he, daily, drank more beer than you are supposed to drink water.
washed his whole deal out, and they couldn't give him salt tablets because his body wasn't used to that much salt at once and it apparently would fuck him up.

They chose to commit suicide in a way that was explicitly torturous, not to mention trying to consume that much straight salt to begin with let alone the part where the overdose kicks in, because it was fashionable?

The past confuses me.
'Fashionable' is a term of art on my part I suppose. I think it was more ritualistic than that?
Kinda like how samurai would prove their honor and courage during ritual suicide by cutting their own stomach open which one imagines would be nightmarishly painful.

Yeah, but at least the samurai had someone there to cut their head off once they'd disemboweled themselves so they didn't suffer overlong.
OD'ing on salt sounds like agony from beginning to end.
Usually when I want to flex on people on how much richer than them I am, I put a napkin over my head and imagine I'm eating some weird tiny bird that was fried alive in butter.
Never heard of death by salt. Death by honey was an ancient rumour in middle eastern societies (unclear if it ever actually happened), that was supposed to be a particularly holy way to die.
And one of my family friends had a brother with some serious mental illness problems who would routinely try to commit death by milk. He wasn't lactose intolerant so mostly it just made him smell very bad.
There is a reason salt and pepper is everywhere. Video is really good but short version, some rich people made it fancy then it became the default.
This is the story of fashion in everything. Rich do a thing to show off, others imitate them, it becomes "common", rich stop doing it and everyone forgets that it used to be "fancy".
We've already discussed some food examples (lobster, gelatin) in previous threads.
this was not bad food it was excellent food but also I did not cook it so
last night we went and got a fuckin A+ star unexpected pizza. Artichoke hearts, roasted garlic, anchovies, fresh mozzarella. Excellent combo, would eat again instantly.
.... but my sister called from australia right when the pizza arrived and I had to spend half an hour performing counselling services while my eating companion ploughed through 75% of it on his own and my slice got cold :bigfrown:
that was, IMO, damned inconsiderate of your fellow diner.
(no it was fine the pizza was fucking huge, i honestly could only make it through 1.5 slices and we still had some left to take home
and it was better than letting it get cold while I faffed on the phone)
it was just kind of hilarious because neither of us had eaten all day, there'd been a bike accident (not mine) involving a trip to urgent care so the afternoon got completely derailed, everyone was starving, and then BAM right when the food hit the table
NGL an 'eating companion' sounds like someone you hire to eat for you, so like, you can watch them eat food you can't and they can describe it to you. So it sounds like in this instance, I am not that far off base.

I can see a niche for this actually, yes.
Swear to God, I've read a fic about this. Someone having a dinner date with a horta, each of them trying to describe the experience to the other.

Wasn't this a thing with one of the new squad characters in the recent XCOM?

I remember being absolutely disgusted at the taste of licorice but then I ate it again after a couple of years and thought it was alright so I have no idea what happened to me over the years
It's a taste I tolerate, but no something I'd go out of my way to experience. It can be nice as a highlight to a flavour, but it's way too strong on its own.

It's the origin of the word "salary".

Is it? I've heard alternately that it is, or that that's a misconception, or that the misconception argument is unfounded, so I don't know.

It is a mystery for sure
I could have bought 2 baconator meals for my tip.
