I invited 6 folks and shortly after the invites were sent I received a call from Sally. Sally (not her real name) advised me that she was now on a salt-free diet due to medical reasons. She advised that at home she cooked without any salt and gave me a speech about how wonderful salt-free life was. I was skeptical and

    Font - Sally advised that unless her dish was salt-free she wouldn't be attending. While telling her no was an option, I'm not that person (see my previous malicious compliance). I was pissed off at Sally for years of being difficult at the dinner table and restaurants. Trust me, there was always something wrong with her meal, or it's preparation, or the flavor, or the waiter, or... With a smile so large you could hear it through the phone I assured her that her request for salt-free was 100% go

    Font - Dinner time and my guest arrive. Thave all of Sally's food plated on white plates. Everyone else gets grey plates. First round: Appetizers. Fried calamari with a lemon jalapeno butter sauce. This dish typically has salt in both the batter and the sauce. As Sally couldn't have that, I battered her calamari in salt-free seasonings and flour. Her condiment looked exactly the same but was made with unsalted butter and no added salt. I place Sally's plate in front of her first and she immediat

    Font - All of my other guest tell Sally it's divine, delicious, best they've had, etc. I smile at Sally and assure her that her dish was flavored exactly as everyone else. The only difference is that she received absolutely no salt. It's at this point that Sally has a moment of clarity. It's painfully obvious on her face. She realizes she can't complain about the lack of salt as she's already told the table about her salt-free life. She also can't claim it tastes terrible if everyone else is rav

    Font - She mumbles something about wanting to taste the difference before literally dumping the bowl on her calamari. She then exclaims how much better it tasted. You and I know that, of course, things taste better with salt. So this drama repeated itself over the main course of honey roasted salmon with pine nuts. I also am no heathen and had both salt and pepper on the table for my guest. I'm not going to judge you for needing more flavor. Here we go! Sally takes a bite of her fish and once ag

    Font - I also baked some cookies for desert. The dough uses a little salt. I made sure to whip up a separate batch of cookies wrapped to go for her. Salt free of course! When I handed her those cookies the look of defeat that hit her face warmed my heart. Dinner is over, everyone is happy except for Sally. I called her the next week to make sure she was okay as she's consumed sodium at my party. Sally told me her doctor has removed her sodium restrictions and she won't need that accomodation at

    Font - Note: To any on a low or no sodium diet for their health- I commend you. Sally, however, wasn't actually on this diet. This is evidenced by her shock at how salt-free food tasted. I confirmed with her husband that she's never stopped using salt at home. Her salt-free claims were a ploy for attention that back-fried tastelessly. TLDR:. Sally lied and stated she required a salt-free diet. She is defeated and miserable when forced to eat salt-free food. Common question- why are we friends? S
