salt

[suburban hillbilly]

Hi guys
I was enjoying some of my own produce the other night and noticed that whenever I took a swig shortly after having eaten a mouthful of salted nuts the taste in my mouth was more rounded and mellow.
So i wanted to ask if anybody does add salt as a flavour enhancer or has ever heard of anyone that does? It might sound odd but it works when drinking tequila.

I think the problem would be. If you mix it in. It will give you a completely different outcome as it would licking the salt off the back of your hand.

It was just something that ran through my mind. Also I was on a contract about ten years ago in Taiwan and didn't start the contract with a lot of money in m pocket. So i bought a bottle of some cheap clear wine from the supermarket, didn't know what it was as the label was in chinese. When I drank it it was very salty. Some local who befriended us pointed out it was designed speacially for cooking. Not to be outdone of my purchase I added some dried sweet plums and let them soak. It still tasted a bit fowl but i managed to finish it although a second bottle was not an option.
All the best SH

I was thinking about this today as I was pouring out some spiced rum, and decided to experiment. I added a tiny bit of salt to my drink, and It does make it rounder and more mellow. I think it helped bring out the sweetness as well. Were talking a minute amount too, maybe 1 to 1.5 gram to 1.75 liters. Seems to make a difference, even if it is all in my head!

And a completely different outcome as it would licking the salt off the neck of the pretty girl at the bar...
