What does “season it to taste” mean?
I hear chefs like Gordon Ramsay say this and many, many others.
When a chef has boiled potatos or bacon or spinach...
Be it my family or Betty Crocker ...
What are the "seasons" they are talking about????
[Please note] I am not asking "How much" but "What is"

@AllisonC disagree. The proposed duplicate is about the “how”, I read this more as a “what”. But both questions are related, imho.

@Chrips, the duplicate includes the "what" in the question, and expands on the "what" in the accepted answer. Any seasoning more specific than the ones in the existing question will also be recipe-specific and impossible to answer without that recipe.

Add your preferred level of salt and pepper
Seasoning usually refers to salt and black pepper, but occasionally to other flavor-enhancing ingredients in the dish such as acid (vinegar, lemon, etc.) and heat (red pepper, sriracha, etc.). "To taste" means to the degree you enjoy it.

Additional note: If the ingredients list contains spices, herbs or other intense flavors (e.g. vinegar or lemon juice) without giving a specific amount or just a range, that’s often an indication of the “what” the recipe writer thought of as “to taste” ingredients.

Then, your "taste" for pepper on that food is zero. If you don't know, then you try adding a little and tasting (hence the "to taste"). I agree with this answer, the default definition for "seasoning" is salt and pepper. "To taste" makes the entire thing subject to your preference.

I was taught as I worked through the ranks of several kitchens that "Salt seasoning, pepper is flavour." I think by this, they meant that salt essentially alters how flavour is received, whereas pepper simply adds another level of flavour. In sweets, the parallel to salt would be sugar. Herbs/Lemon/Vinegar would all fall into the flavour category for me...

@Chrips Thank you! I guessed you had .. I can understand that some people might want to restrict the meaning of 'seasoning' more than this .. but I've found this distinction between 'seasoning' and 'flavoring' really helpful in my cooking.The idea that you might add just enough of something to enhance the main flavors.. but if you asked a diner what was in the dish, unless they were really trying, they couldn't identify that ingredient.

Possible duplicate of In a recipe, how much is "to taste"?

@AllisonC disagree. The proposed duplicate is about the “how”, I read this more as a “what”. But both questions are related, imho.

@Allison_C Re-read the question please.
– Chrips

@Chrips, the duplicate includes the "what" in the question, and expands on the "what" in the accepted answer. Any seasoning more specific than the ones in the existing question will also be recipe-specific and impossible to answer without that recipe.

@Chrips Please note that asking for clarification in comments is ok, but no matter how much users disagree, all interaction falls under the “Be Nice” rule.
