The entire area of people salting/peppering/cheesing/etc up their foods bothers me lately.
Here's a couple of different scenarios where I'm bothered...
1) You goto a pizza place with great pie, get a slice or two and before dudes even bite into it they throw a pound of garlic salt, hot pepper flakes, grosscheap-@#* parmesan, and whatever else on the pizza.
They might as well just be eating cardboard at that point, because you no longer can taste the pizza.
2) A person gets a nice steak at a great little steakhouse. Before taking a bite, they dump A-1 sauce (or worse, but not untrue - KETCHUP) all over theirnice piece of steak... essentially making it into some kind of fast food reject cut of meat.
3) You order some kind of special of the day dish at a place and a person just salts the thing to death before they take one bite.
I just sit here watching these people like..
For one... food is made to be eaten the way it's been made. If it tasted better with all this stuff on it, that's how the recipe would be made by theguys who knows how to make the meals. The fact that it doesn't come with that stuff on it should probably tell you that it's not how the dish isintended to taste.
Two - if you really deem that an item needs more of some type of seasoning, since you probably are some type of chef-genius yourself
, put it on AFTER you taste it. Don't be seasoning things before tastingthem first.
Lastly - it's more likely that you prefer the taste of the seasonings than the actual food items themselves, and you could save yourself a lot of money ifyou just stayed him and ate those seasonings straight up instead of ruining great food with your cheap trailer-park taste-aids.
/end rant.
