I don't think anybody keeps cleaning agents and food ingredients in the same place, I definitely don't, don't know anybody who does, so it's logical to assume it should be the same in restaurants
Totally agree on that point. I took it more to mean it could be fatal if someone went to refill a jar of vinegar with bleach (or vice versa) since mixing the two creates chlorine gas which can be fatal.
But that's boring. Just close your eyes, grab any packet or bottle at random and apply with gusto. This way you will always be surprised at new and fresh taste combinations!
I've heard cooking and baking referred to as art and science, interchangeablely depending on who you talk to. I've never seen someone try to turn it into alchemy.
Salt in coffee is actually a thing. I think it decreases the perception of the bitter taste or something? I don't remember. I just remember trying it and not caring for it, because I like the taste of coffee.
(It's a very small amount of salt though. Like a pinch in a cup is more than enough.)
My parents store their’s like this. I thought I’d be a good son and make everyone bacon and pancakes for breakfast one day while visiting. Mistakes were made, good thing there was enough bacon to go around
Yeah, I was confused about this... A little sugar won't ruin your French toast, and you can always salt it afterwards... I genuinely forget that people eat it sweet, I'm a cheddar and bacon boy myself.

Why would you do this? I would just get a marker and label each one with an “S” so you don’t make this same mistake in the future.

S for salt, s for sugar, so there's no confusion.

First thing i did, while my mouth was still salty from the first bite, is go get my sharpie.
Never again

This is also why it's required for restaurants to label all containers.
A clear jar of what is assumed vinegar could be bleach, and those tiny mix ups could be deadly.

Vinegar can be a very effective cleaning agent though, it's not just used for food.
maniel@lemmy.ml · -1 pts · 2y
It's still a different vinegar, that shouldn't be kept with food

Restaurants absolutely shouldn't.
However, people suck and it happens, probably more often than you would want.

You don't understand, this batter was a lot saltier than the batter you're thinking of
KonalaKoala@lemmy.world · 16 pts · 2y
This is probably why it is usually a good idea to label your bottles or containers with names like salt, sugar, baking soda, flour, etc.

One time I got a coffee to go, only to find they’d put salt instead of sugar.

I actually do make my French Toast with salt and pepper. No sugar, except in the maple syrup. It's far superior.

I mixed these up as a kid once. Worst jug of kool-aid i ever had. Fruit punch “sweetened” with salt.
spacecowboy@sh.itjust.works · 4 pts · 2y
You put sugar on your French toast?
BOLOID@pawb.social · 3 pts · 2y
Tons, and cinnamon, flour, and a little bit of salt. I find that the bread dilutes the flavor, so i overload the batter to compensate.
I don't like bland french toast
Phil_in_here@lemmy.ca · 1 pts · 2y
In the batter. Eggs, milk, sugar.

Powdered salt is great for popcorn! Grind it up in a spice grinder and you get this

But using as much salt they normally would use sugar? Most people put shitloads of sugar on french toast.
