I keep salt and sugar in identical bottles. A mistake was bound to happen, and it just did.

  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.

    • acetanilide@lemmy.world ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      I would do an upside down S, less confusion

      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.

  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.

    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.

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

    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.)

      This was an undrinkable amount

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

  This is also why I like to use kosher salt, very distinct grains

  You put sugar on your French toast?

  • BOLOID@pawb.social ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    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.

  • Tier1BuildABear@lemmy.world ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    Probably powdered sugar, which makes op even more stupid. Jk he probably added powdered salt

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

    In the batter. Eggs, milk, sugar.

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

    source
  • Acamon@lemmy.world ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    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.

    Yeah good thing OP found out in a low stakes situation. Can you imagine if it was more serious?

    “Cast your hope aside Mortal, for the demon Karanathaghar has set his eye on thee!”

    “Oh I know. I’ve seen this in the x-files. I’ll just make a neat little ring of salt around me …”

  I had nearly the same problem on new years.

  Was going to put vanilla sugar in my whipped cream but accidentally put baking soda as its the exact same container.
