Salt and Pepper were opposites. If you had too much pepper, just add salt and vice versa.
I tried that once when I was in grade school when I was heating up a can of chili on the stove. Too much salt came out of the shaker so I tried to offset it with pepper.
I was once very ashamed of myself for absolutely fucking up lemon pepper chicken on the BBQ as a kid. I put waaaaay to much seasoning on. My dad gave me the go ahead, pretty sure he regretted that. I learned.
