Describing a cook whose hand stays light on salt, trusted by no one at the table.
The saltshy cook seasons by instinct calibrated for a doctor's audience, and every dish arrives under. The table corrects quietly, and the salt cellar travels from hand to hand without comment. Asked directly, the saltshy explain themselves in terms of health, and the household nods and passes the cellar.
Etym. — salt + shy — the timid hand at the seasoning.
