[@NeferSonne]

The salt and pepper shakers actually confused me when first moving to Britain, everywhere in the world I had been before the salt was the one with several holes and the pepper the one with only one hole. Apparently it is due to historicaly pepper being more expensive. Found this in wikipedia: The number of holes varies by culture, health and taste. In Europe where pepper was historically a rare spice, pepper is stored in the shaker with the fewer holes. In the UK, salt was often poured onto the side of one's plate and used for dipping, rather than shaken across the whole dish, hence salt cellars having a single, larger, hole.

[@DKDexter999]

Yeah, when they yelled that out I was perplexed as well; here in Denmark it's 1 hole = pepper, many holes = salt. I was as a child explained that it was due to the need; you need more salt on your food than pepper.

[@petergerdes1094]

Yah salt is multiple holes is what I expect in the US too. But it's not a strong association.

[@scottdixon2505]

I always thought it's because salt is a stronger taste so you don't want loads of it to come out in one go

[@petergerdes1094]

@@scottdixon2505 Than pepper? I never need to shake pepper a whole bunch but sometimes I do with salt.

[@drdassler]

It always made sense to me because of the difference between salt crystals & powdered pepper. Salt runs nicely through one hole & powder is better shaken through multiple holes. British people are smart.

[@Midrealm_DM]

16:40 - I've always thought the reason was that salt pours more easily, requiring less holes in order to dispense. While pepper, which does not pour as easily, requires more holes, or sometimes larger holes.

[@JRCSalter]

This is my reasoning too.

The reason salt shakers should only have one hole is actually because, historically, you would pour a small pile of salt onto the side of your plate to dip your food into. Having one hole, rather than many, made it easier to control. It’s quite good for chips, so you aren’t limited to salting the top layer.

[@pigeon2503]

Really? That's interesting. Weird... and kinda gross, but interesting

[@gladtobeangry]

One question. Does this friend of yours come from Holland? Because I can guarantee to you that wherever you go in the Netherlands you'll find salt goes in the shaker with lots of holes in the top, and pepper in the one that has only three or sometimes even one hole. In fact you being so adamant about it definitely having to be the other way around is the first time in my life this has been even a question I've thought about. The salt goes in the shaker with many holes, because you usually want quite a bit of salt. The pepper goes in the shaker with few holes, so you don't accidentally ruin your food by shaking way too much pepper over it rendering it inedible. Anything other feels and sounds ridiculous to me.

[@gladtobeangry]
