Agree

  • Salt is chemically just sodium chloride
  • Taste differences are largely imaginary
  • Regular salt costs almost nothing
  • Marketing hype for pretentious cooks

Disagree

  • Texture and mineral content vary significantly
  • Finishing salts elevate dishes noticeably
  • Small luxury that improves daily meals
  • If you use it daily worth buying nice
