Salt & Pepper: Which goes in the shaker with more holes?!


Question: Salt & Pepper: Which goes in the shaker with more holes!?
My fiance and I had a discussion about this!. He says the pepper goes in the shaker with the most holes!. I say it's the salt!. Which one of us is right!?Www@FoodAQ@Com


Answers:
I;ve had this argument with friends before and after muc debate (and eating out) we decided that it changes with every restaraunt you go to!.!. here are the two reasons!.

on one hand: Salt goes in the shaker with more holes because people use salt more often, and in greater amounts!. This equalizes the need, making one shake roughly the same for either spice!.

on the other: Pepper goes in the shaker with more holes because it consists of larger chunks than salt!. This equalizes the flow, making one shake roughly the same for either spice!.

Hope that settles it!Www@FoodAQ@Com

If there are no other indications for the appropriate spice such as labels, initials or color cues, then you should feel free to put whichever spice you prefer in the shaker with the most holes!. If you're not happy with the flow, then make the switch!. As long as you and yours know which is which, then all should be right with the world, seasonally speaking!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I come from a big pepper family, growing up we always put the pepper in the one with more wholes!.!.!. too much salt!.!.!. yuck! Now I use clear mills!.!.!. so they're both identical and it's just a matter of refilling!.

however, it goes in which ever one you feel like putting it in!.!.!.

read this, it covers the whole argument!.!.!.

The salt goes in the one with fewer holes--pepper in the one with more holes!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
