Salt and pepper are the two best friends who you've had since childhood. There's nothing you don't share with them, and yeah they're predictable and every once in a while you get sick of them, but isn't that the beauty of it? It's good to branch out and meet people who are more spontaneous and exciting, like furikake or szechuan peppercorn, but if need be you could live without them. You couldn't live without salt and pepper.
personally i think you should put these two on literally anything. im having plain corn chips with salt and pepper. isnt it crazy that we’re just like mm yummy rock particles in my food yay 😍😍
I carry around an old pill bottle filled with flaky salt with me. It always elevates an okay meal, and goes great on sweets. Seriously just pick some up and you'll thank me later.
It's just like John Swartzwelder said:
"Since writing is very hard and rewriting is comparatively easy and rather fun, I always write my scripts all the way through as fast as I can, the first day, if possible […] Then the next day, when I get up, the script’s been written. It’s lousy, but it’s a script. The hard part is done."
