Too much:

- 4
Ginger - add butter, cream or dilute the taste with extra stock

Tomato - add sugar and a little basil or oregano
- 6
Vinegar - add sugar

Salt - potatoes don't work, add some sugar and lemon juice

Pepper - if it's unmixed, place a piece of bread over the top, it will suck it up. If it's stirred in, add lemon juice and sugar
