dear fine dining seafood restaurant in port moody which my husband took me out to last night
thank you very much for a pleasant evening out with one of the most helpful waitresses ever (she was a real star).
however, please have a word with your chef - tell him simply that adding excessive salt to food, to every food item on my plate, does not increase it's attractiveness to my palate. in the same way that curry spices mask the flavour, too much salt takes away the will to live from my taste buds. it's not the height of culinary skill to able to oversalt every dish until it burns the oral mucosa.
then it's not so much fine dining, but an endurance course.
one day i would like to taste what i am eating when dining out.
thank you
ebb
PS: ditto on the too much pepper just in case s/he is wondering how to jazz up the mains in future.

My mouth is watering as I read this. Not like "oooh, yum!" but more like how it waters when you think of sour things... and it's accompanied with a wince. Too bad the hyper-salination marred an otherwise lovely sounding evening! Hopefully the dessert's sweetness made you forget all your woes :)
er ... we guzzled wine instead of the dessert (and the desserts didn't look too exciting on the menu we had).
I'm sure cookery schools must teach more about basic flavourings than telling their students to add loads of salt and pepper.
.... at least, i hope they do!
