My neighbor brought over some chicken soup the other day, that she must've made with canned stock. The first few bites tasted good, after that not so much. I need to get it in small amounts throughout the day.
FWIW: When my dad was in his 20s and in the British army reserves (and a lot more active otherwise than he is now), he had a similar issue of just not being able to hold on to enough salt. He started having to keep potato chips around. Good thing (or not so much, now) that he likes them.
