It's not rude. They're idiots, because it's an unhealthy habit, but it's not rude. It's got nothing to do with you, they have a bad habit.
Yeah, it's a little rude but some people are like that, they just automatically assume that they would need more seasoning on their food. But he should have tasted it at least before he asked. Unless he knew that you don't usually season your food...
this and we shouldn't take it personally because everyone have different taste buds.
Yeah...
to me, kinda. you should at least give courtesy to the cook that they seasoned it correctly. one bite can't hurt
My grandfather used to do it. And I am 90% sure that he did it only to annoy my grandmother.
Consciously, or not - I find it impractical; a good dish can suffer from over-seasoning.
It’d be rude to your tastebuds bc it may’ve been well seasoned, salty even. Then if you just added more salt without tasting that might make the food nasty.
I think it depends on your country aka the social norm. Where I come from it's not normally rude.
Umm if they know that you don't season with salt I don't think it's rude. I'm guessing this is a family thing.
It's not the same concept, you already know a bag of crisps is very salty.
And a lot of people season their food additionally, even though it's already seasoned enough, their tolerance is higher.
Most people only put salt and pepper on certain things, and they always put it on those certain things and it's a very normal thing to put it on those things and they know if they want it on those things.
Its not rude but dang thats messed up. I prob wouldve said sumn like Oh, Did I Not Season it Enough for You?
Reaching for pepper os okay, there is no limit to spice, reaching for salt is , well, now i know apprently people can get offended.
Yes I was taught that when you're guests you should always taste the food before seasoning it.
Some people just like their usual. If that means damaging their heart to maintain their routine, so be it.
"I will admit, apart from the potatoes I do not season my food."
You don't, season your food?
Where exactly is the taste supposed to come from, then?
Who gives a shit lol. Just be prepared to be made fun of
When I cook, I use very little salt. People who know me expect they will need to season their food with salt and pepper.
Nope it’s not rude but it’s still best to taste it otherwise you could ruin the flavor.
No, but it can be if you keep putting more and more ugh
I love salt. Easily, I'd add it without tasting my food. It's habit
I like a lot of salt and pepper so I can guarantee that there isn't enough on there.
I think it's more rude to tell people what they should or shouldn't be doing.
