The food police have got at my pizza
This British columnist laments that a restaurant chain has stopped putting salt in its pizzas; just stopped, in the name of the nation's health. Which is where you want to ask whether anyone in mass catering is actually allowed to rate taste as a selling point any more and how your average Italian would react, served a salt-free pizza. Next time, she says, she will choose one with anchovies or capers, always assuming they haven't been made "safe" by having the salt rinsed out of them. It may also be time to start hoarding the little sachets you get on planes for future restaurant use – unless, of course, the salt police have got at the airlines, too.
