Recipe of Trust, Taste Before Seasoning!!

I recentently read a study about seasoning a dish with out first tasting it such as when we go out to a restaurant or to a gathering. This fascinated me to my beliefs, as a chef I have often wondered how someone could grab the salt shaker before tasting what has been prepared and set for them to eat. I realize there are those who salt everything before it is consumed but Where is the trust? has often been my thought. I once worked for a chef many years ago who demanded the Salt & Pepper to be removed from the tables, if the guest wanted more S&P they could ask for it. I have followed in his footsteps in some of the houses  I have worked and rightfully so.
When I prepare a recipe there is much thought and tasting that goes into what I am creating, every seasoning is adjusted not only for taste but for health. Cooking is an art within a science, finding a balance in cuisine is something that I work extremely hard to attain, I take great pride in what I prepare and serve and HATE, I know hate is a strong word but I HATE seeing someone grab the salt shaker and douse the plate with salt before tasting it. This is where the study comes in.
The findings show that there are many factors that cause one to S&P there food up. It showed that a group even will S&P what they have cooked with there own hands after it has been cooked and plated prior to consuming the meal, there is a percentage that does this out of habit, another that does it out of mineral depletion and another from a behavioral mechanism called trust, that is correct I said Trust or the lack of including there own for themselves. I found this fascinating.
The article can be found in the New England Journal of Medicine, September 2010 should anyone care to read it or doesn't trust (hahahaha). Now I am not putting anyone down or faulting anyone for salting before tasting, I am sure at one time or another I have been guilty of this and more so with pepper, what I am saying is be conscience of our actions.
On that note have a Grand Day and try tasting before re salting or peppering, your buds might be surprised!!!!
