I've never really added all that much salt to food, with the exception of beef. I love salt on my burgers, or especially steak! But for pretty much everything else, I don't really use much salt. But I can't live without condiments. Pepper, spice mixes (Chef Paul's * Magic,) and in particular, hot sauce, of one sort or another ("Louisiana Hot Sauce," "Sriracha," etc)... It can make "low sodium" versions of foods almost palatable. The only problem is that many of those hot sauces are very high in sodium too!

I LOVE V8 juice, but it's really high in sodium, and the low sodium version really sucks... By the time I "spice it up," it's probably got about the same amount of sodium as the "original."

I have found that by mixing 1 can of regular V-8 and 1 can of the low sodium V-8 that it ain't that bad. The only hassle is finding a container to hold the two cans of V-8.

An empty 32 oz Gatorade bottle works okay:-)

I can relate. I accidentally bought a thing of the low salt V8 last week. I took one swig of it and tossed it. Felt terrible about the waste but knew there was no way I’d drink that stuff. Just awful. The problem is that it’s not just low salt - they also put potassium salt and sugar in it which gives it a weird wang.

BTW, maybe I’m crazy but to me V8 tastes best in the big half-gallon cans. I don’t know if it’s because there’s no exposure to UV light that way or what, but to me it tastes fresher.
