The opposite to which? Salt dries something out so you'd want to counter with something like an oil. Sugar sweetens stuff so you'd want to balance it with a tart substance. Chemically both are stable so there isn't really anything that "cancels them out" the way an acid and a base do. --- "History Is Much Like An Endless Waltz.

ThyCorndog 08/29/17 3:01:01 PM #11:	what are you confused about salt exists on other planets too cause it's just a mineral (aka type of rock powder) sugar is made by living things, plants make it as they absorb sunlight. sugar and salt being opposites doesn't make any sense, they have nothing to do with each other except that we figured out they're both tasty --- Hey what's going on in this thread http://i.imgur.com/6fpKRW8.gif http://i.imgur.com/RNZi0gk.gif <cite>ThyCorndog posted [p:885665861] in Are salt a...

pinky0926 08/29/17 3:01:28 PM #12:	In a taste sense kind of, but they don't cancel each other out. They just balance each other. Say for example you were making a thai curry, and you needed to get the right balance of salty, sweet, spicy, fragrant, etc. Then you'd get the salty from...well, salt, the sweet from palm sugar, the spicy from chillis, the fragrant from coriander and lime leaves, etc. So if your curry was too sweet, you'd perhaps add some more salt to balance it. --- CE's Resident Scotsman. http://i.imgur.com/ILz2ZbV.jpg <cite>pinky0926 posted [p:885665884] in Are salt a...
