This reminds me of a fairytale I read when I was younger and tho I don't remember the title of the book, I remember that it went something like this:
A king had three daughters and one day he gathered them and asked them: "what's the sweetest thing in this world?", at which the eldest said: "it's sugar"; the second's reply was: "it's honey", while the youngest's was: "it's salt". The king, surprised by the answer of the young princess, asked her: "are you sure about it?", at which the princess confidently replied: "yes".
The king, thinking that his daughter was making fun of him, got angry and told her: "then go to a place where sweet things are made with salt!" and kicked* her out of the palace.
After some time, the princess become the wife of a powerful man** and then, one day, they got a notice saying that the king will be visiting them in the future.
Knowing this, she then commanded the chefs not to season any of the dishes to be served with salt, which shocked them but they obeyed anyway.
The day the king arrived, he greeted her as the lady of the house, unable to recognize his own daughter.
After all the pleasantries, the king was escorted to the dinning room for the banquet.
Big was his surprise when he took a bite and couldn't savor the first course because of the lack of salt.
"Maybe the cooks forgot to season the dish...?", was what he thought. But his annoyance grew the farther the banquet went on: it wasn't possible for the chefs to forget to season all the dishes, wasn't it?. And when he was going to point this to his host, the king remembered the long forgotten words of his daughter. Regret washed over him, remembering how hard he was on his own blood and then he lamented: "my daughter was right: salt is the sweetest thing. But now I can't even apologize to her since I don't know her whereabouts"
.....and you can all imagine the rest: sorry for the long comment 😂😅
But... Yes: a pinch of salt sometimes makes sweet things better 🤤
* - couldn't remember a better word for that 😅 (I'm not a notice as you can see)
** - I forgot the details here 😅
