Is the opposite of salt: Pepper or Sugar?

Google Salt and Sugar recipes, then Google Salt and Pepper recipes.
I know some dishes using salt and sugar, but one taste usually overpower the other one, and only a few that combines their taste in a balanced way.
Neither, but you can usually cover up minor over salting with a little sugar. Starch and liquids work better though
this is a such a wild set of statements that I don't know where to even begin. Do me a favor and sprinkle some salt onto a piece of chocolate or some ice cream next time you have some. Or chocolate dipped pretzels, which are salted. Salt and sweet is a widely used combination

Neither of those is the opposite of salt. The opposite of salty would be...not salty. Bland?
It sure as hell isn't pepper, and it even more certainly isn't sugar.
Literally never. I've only ever heard of this strange idea from your post, and from Newman saying the same nonsense in Jurassic Park. Er, I mean Nedry.

Neither. There are five types of flavors. Salt and sugar are two of them by name. Pepper is a third (spice).
Neither, salt has no opposites, but if I had to pick one it'd be sugar. As others have said, salt and pepper are complentary in most cuisines in the world.

Why do you think movie theaters sell sugary drinks with popcorn? Why do you think fast food restaurants sell sugary drinks with fries and other salty foods?
It absolutely is sugar.
If you have a dish that's too salty, sugar can help balance it out.
You can eat a lot more of something if it has both salt and sugar because your tastebuds don't get overwhelmed.
Just look at western Chinese food. Copious amounts of sugar and salt.

Salt and Pepper come as a two pack for a reason; they're not opposites. They go together on almost everything. Theyre both savory.
Sugar is the opposite (tho they can still be quite tasty together!)

I don't have to google anything, I've got plenty of experience cooking and baking. Besides, how many dishes do you think there are where the black pepper shines above all? It probably doesn't counter the myriad of sweet and savory dishes out there.
That's ignoring just how much a healthy (and I mean healthy) dose of salt elevates sweets and desserts.
Because those are popular, and cheap to make? If they were opposite, you'd taste nothing, they'd cancel out. They're different, not opposite. You don't sell opposite things together.
Or Korean, or Japanese, et cetera? Like, there's a ton of cuisines out there that are centered around a balance of the different components of taste?

Actually, I suspect more food consumed in Western countries have salt and sugar in them than salt and pepper.

I'm not sure I'd lump all SPICE in together. I'll have to dwell on it though.Neither. There are five types of flavors. Salt and sugar are two of them by name. Pepper is a third (spice).
Yeah, I concede that Sugar and Salt works perfectly on baking. That flew on my head.
I still think Sugar and Salt are more opposites than Salt and Pepper.
Oh boy do I have a phrase to introduce to you. Sweet and salty.
