I often wonder about the items in recipes that are in very low quantity.
Like a pinch of this or that - often salt. Or a quarter or half teaspoon of
something. If a strong spice than I can see the small amount, but
otherwise... Or a teaspoon of something other than a spice that seems
unrelated to the rest of the items.

Sometimes I skip these items or forget to add them and mostly haven't
tasted any difference.

TIA
