I minimise the amount of salt used when I'm cooking. Even in bread,
where salt is usually 2% of the flour weight, I cut it ack to 1.5%.
It horrifies me to see cooks or celebrity chefs chuck enormous
quantities of salt in their dishes.

FWIW, I went though that episode of congestive heart failure a few
years ago and was on a very low sodium diet for a while.  I got used
to it and after a few months I never missed the salt. We did not go
out for dinner for a long time. Then we went out with our son and his
fiancee to meet her parents. We had eaten at that restaurant before
and never had issues with the salt, but this time my wife found the
food seemed to be exceptionally salty, but none of the other four
seemed to notice.

I've found that after a restaurant meal, my weight the following morning
is significantly higher than it should be. I attribute that to water
retention due to the high levels of salt.

Was this before or after you took a shit and dumped out the huge meal
you'd eaten the night before?

My word, Sire Hank, such "FOWL" language... please to remember that we
are in "genteel company" here...!!!
