Someone plonks a plate of food down and you reach for salt and pepper without even tasting. Do you think that’s rude? Are you saying “I already lack confidence in your food” or are you saying “my tastebuds only detect lethal levels of salt” Yesterday, I spent 4 and a half hours cooking for 8 people. I tried so hard, I put on the table roast beef, roast potatoes, beans, cauliflower cheese, carrots in a Sherry and butter sauce, Yorkshire puddings and gravy. I made everything from scratch and I was so upset that without even putting any food on their plate one of the guests said “salt and pepper?” I will admit, apart from the potatoes I do not season my food. I grew up in a house without it (not even salt in the veg water) and that’s just what I’m used to. By all means TRY the food and then ask but to simply assume? I found that really rude. The particular guest had already pissed me off because despite being asking 2 weeks, then 1 week, then 2 days in advance he gave me 4 hours notice he was coming. Am I right to feel it’s rude?

Trust me, there's NEVER enough salt and pepper.

I don’t think it’s rude at all.
