I made the mistake of buying milk tea while traveling in Mongolia. It turns out that Mongolians like their milk tea salty, not sugary. I was horrified at the taste but my Mongolian friends love it.

They're what plants crave

by Anonymous 4 weeks ago

And sodium

by Anonymous 4 weeks ago

I read somewhere that if Gatorade tastes salty, then you need the electrolytes/sodium/etc. If it tastes sweet, then you don't. No idea if that's accurate but I find it interesting because it does taste differently to me at times.

by Anonymous 4 weeks ago

I think it's more just relative to what you normally drink. If you drink soda, gatorade will taste salty, but if you drink normal water it will taste sweet.

Yes. Literally its a cube of insert animal or vegetable stock.... so it's just broth. Idk how their family doesnt like it or thinks they are weird for it.

by Pristine-Archer 4 weeks ago

American culture doesn't normalize drinking straight broth like a beverage so I guess I can sort of see why someone might side eye it. But really, it's not that strange, and for anyone to say they don't like it is weird. You don't like any soup base ever? Alright.

Or just frustrated with life. /s

by Upstairs_Text_4048 4 weeks ago

So if you had to put soda in one category would you put it in salty? Or sweet? Because I think there are plenty of foods that are primarily salty in the way soda is primarily sweet

by Boganshanelle 4 weeks ago

Things can be overly salty and sweet at the same time. Beer, bread, soda, chocolate. Just because it tastes one way doesn't mean you aren't getting way to much of the other at the same time.

by Norval93 4 weeks ago

Sure, not denying that food can have a lot of salt and sugar in it. But that doesn't mean that soda falls dead even between sweet and salty. It's clearly more noticeably sweet as you said. So I think it's pretty silly to act like op meant "drink with a lot of salt that isn't a primary flavor" rather than "salty drink like how fries are a salty food"

by Boganshanelle 4 weeks ago

Lol. If you say a drink is salty, everyone is gonna assume it tastes salty. I think it's safe to assume that's what OP was referring to.

Salty is the adjective for tasting like salt, not simply having salt as a component.

Gose beer is a salty drink. It was popular with us breweries for a minute and it's delicious

by Anonymous 4 weeks ago

The Gose beer brewed by microbrewery near where I work, tends to brew it so the salt water is to counteract the sour or tart fruits they brew it with. It's certainly an odd experience, taking a first sip where one of their Gose had Soursop for a sour taste, then the second sip, the salt water kicks in that seems to counter the sourness.

Anything with electrolytes has not just salt (sodium chloride) but also potassium chloride (another salt). The ton of sugar is to balance out the salty taste. People put a bit of salt in tea too. Any drink you want to enhance the flavor a bit can get salt if not carbonated.

I occasionally make a big ole cup of broth. Mainly in the winter, but I'll often throw together some Better Than Bouillon, chile flakes, black pepper, soy sauce and ginger into a mug then fill it with boiling water from a kettle, wait ten minutes, and sip in savory, salty goodness for a while.

That's not correct. People drink salty drinks and like them. For example tomato juice is rather salty and it's one of the most popular drinks people choose on flights. Many popular table mineral water brands have got salty taste. In many cultures salty drinks are widespread. For example ayran is popular drink in Turkey, Caucasus, Central Asia. I drank a white wine in Italy with salty taste and it's really nice one. And I will open one more secret. Companies add salt to beverages like Coke or Pepsi.
