Eh, probably would but I'm an American and there wasn't a single piece of fish that passed my lips while I was in Japan that wasn't amazing. At least compared to the stuff you find in the US.

That's Thai script in the ad.

I bought some butter that had sea salt in it, and just thought it was a fancy way to say it's salted butter. But it was literally butter with bits of sea salt in it. Crunchy butter was not a success

There's also you do need to have some amount of salt in your diet to help your brain function. I learned this one when I had to do my cardiac/hypertension follow up and despite that since I grew up in a family where we were already low to no salt added because of hypertension, the dietician still insisted I needed to cut my salt down further. Since I wasn't eating fast food because you kinda have to be able to afford it to have it, I began to cut out any food that had a natural high sodium count and I had trouble concentrating. After a certain point I said screw this and went back to my usual cook from scratch no added salt and was fine. I figure the dietician was thinking I was lying about my diet for whatever reason.

Honestly that's about my ideal amount of fish vs. rice so yeah, I totally would. Price isn't great for what I'm assuming is only okay-ish fish though.

It's like when a doctor asks how much someone drinks - they just sort of double the amount because people lie.

For some things I guess that might be bad, but that honestly sounds amazing to me

Everything is bad for you if you eat enough of it.

Besides, a world without any amount of salt or butter is not a world I want to live in, so if they kill me, oh well.

Sushi Den is the worst of probably a dozen sushi places in CentralWorld. It's got a conveyor belt and it's always empty.

Rye bread with just butter and crystal salt is a surprisingly great snack.

I found out yesterday that one of my friends fills up little bowls with ketchup and licks it out of them. I've never seen him do this before but he says it's a snack he has like every day and I might as well have felt like I found out he tortures small animals for sex reasons

How little of a bowl?

Also if you're cooking from scratch, you're already getting waaaaaay less salt than if you ate something prepackaged. Suggesting people just sub in herbs & spices is disingenuous at best, completely failing to recognize what salt does in cooking at worst. I once had roasted potatoes that were completely covered with herbs and looked like they should have been delicious, but had no loving flavor because there was no salt in them.

Same with butter, assuming you're not Paula Deen. Although in this case you can often sub in unsaturated fats if you know what you're doing and know what the fat's function is in the recipe.

Like little condiment dipping bowls. Probably like 3" across and and 1 1/2" deep? We were watching movies together and he came back from the kitchen with one and was lapping out of it intermittently and I was almost immediately like "what's that" and he was like "ketchup sometimes I just snack on it"

The Bloop posted:

Honestly the worst part of this story is that your friend went into the kitchen for a snack and didn't offer you any.


Also, lapping poo poo out of a bowl is a little wtf even if it wasn't a condiment

He's a skinny guy in his early 20s who moved to the US from Puerto Rico when he was like 9 and he said his entire family has ketchup as a snack

His parents don't speak English and they're severely obese and have diabetes and heart problems, ones in a wheel chair and the other one uses a cane to get around. I'm thinking ketchup snacks is probably bad

I had a boyfriend once who drank ketchup. He was Russian and would eat anything, like he put a plastic bag of pierogies in the microwave once and ate the whole mess, plastic and all. He was great fun, but a real mess.

E: Another friend drank her leftover soy sauce after eating sushi AND put sugar in green tea; I stopped going to Japanese restaurants with her after a while.

RareAcumen posted:

Oh no, I also add sugar in my green tea too.

I eat ketchup, soy, duck sauce, and mustard packets straight up. I even keep them in my purse for emergencies. Getting snackish? Have a McD's ketchup packet and some soy sauce and you're golden.

I also drink spaghetti sauce from the jar,eat mustard from the jar with a spoon, and pour plum sauce into my mouth from the bottle. My processed condiment love knows no boundaries.

I have done unspeakable things with Arby's horsey sauce. You guys need to up your "condiments as dinner" game.

It's okay; as a kid I used to chew up the top half of pretzel sticks, chew them up, and spread the goo back on with my tongue. It was tasty. Anyways, nobody's perfect.

e: I swear, I only did this in private.

As if you don't just spoon the butter and sugar mix when you make cakes into your mouth like a loving pig and then have to go make more.
