If the food tastes like just salt without much else, then obviously that's not great. How is this a difficult point to understand? It's the quantity that's the problem, not simply the presence of it.

The point being your statement is a completely useless statement. Any ingredient can taint a dish with its own taste.

Too much salt is unpleasant and can also be unhealthy, fwiw.

Oh, and my wife does hate salt, so I get used to less of it.
