Legitimately, though: I listened to my sister tell her 4-year about "yummy spices" at Thanksgiving. The example she used was "like salt!" I was horrified.

She also made & brought the absolute worst green bean casserole I have ever tasted in my life. It was like wet, crunchy green beans covered in French-fried onions (which came from a can, which is why it's pretty much the only thing she got right).

She used "no added salt/sodium" cream-of-mushroom soup, the green beans, and the canned fried onions, and added nothing else.

I love green bean casserole, as it's one of my favorite Thanksgiving foods. Even offered to make it for everyone this year! But she insisted that she wanted to do it.

The only thing that was salty this Thanksgiving was me.

they're basically onion rings cooled and sealed in a airtight container, https://www.amazon.com/Frenchs-French-Onions-Original-2-8-Ounce/dp/B000KOQDJI

Is this some weird stereotype that I've been privileged to never hear before?

Actually, don't answer that. I just want to live in blissful ignorance.

Salt is just a major part of their cuisine/flavouring

It’s not exclusive to Japan if you’re worried about stereotypes but they tend to celebrate it more than other countries that look to burn your mouth off
