For context, my wife is always criticizing how I don't add enough salt to the dishes I cook. I also have no tats. She does.

But at least you can always add more salt lol

You need to add salt as you cook. Yes, you can add it afterwards, but you don't get the same flavor layering, food texture, salt penetration, and for some foods, the necessary chemical reactions in your dishes. In some sense, I feel confident that your wife is right based purely on the fact that you think you can just add salt after it's cooked and get the same thing.

I'm a white dude with no tattoos, but I have this argument all the time with my family. "You can add hot sauce and salt afterward for yourself!" That's not how this works Susan. That's not how any of this works. All of cooking is chemistry and physics! And get over it! If I'm cooking I'm using salt and guajillio peppers!

"Tattoos. Coke. And chronic stress. These were the ingredients chosen to create the perfect line cooks. But Head Chef Marco accidentally added an extra ingredient to the concoction: Chemical Gay."

I think gay is tattoo equivalent for cooking...

This guy foods. He had me when said he has tattoos.

Yeah, it generally works fine for sauces, but you're not going to get salt to permeate into your noodles from just throwing it on top afterwards, for example.
