I agree.
I was amazed that it only took two weeks of going "cold turkey" for food
to stop tasting bland...

Now I can hardly stand bacon or luncheon meats, and the vast majority of
sausages are too salty. I do still have the rare BLT and appreciate ham
or bacon in a bean recipe. I also lightly salt hard boiled eggs.

I buy bulk sausage and cut it 2/3 with fresh meat, then make patties and
freeze. 1 part commercial sausage to 2 parts fresh ground pork and/or
mixed with ground turkey or ground beef.

It's delicious that way.

Eating out is a real challenge as well. Most places DRASTICALLY oversalt
the food if you are used to low sodium!
