A prep cook in Seattle taught me something about salt

I was working a pop-up event a few years back, and this prep cook, Maria, was seasoning a huge batch of soup base. She told me, 'Taste it with a piece of the main vegetable, not just a spoon.' I tried it with a bit of potato, and the flavor was totally different. Has anyone else found a simple tasting trick that changed how you season a dish?

Tasting pasta water, huh? Why not taste the sauce with a noodle too?

How about tasting pasta water before you drain it?
