a chocolate milkshake and fries at McDonald's, I used to dip the fries in the milkshake. Loved the salt and chocolate milkshake combo.

Also prefer salted nuts on ice cream sundae over unsalted.

I like the sweet and salty combo with other foods, too.

Make an Ice Cream Sandwich with butter pecan ice cream on Ritz Crackers.... That gives it the salty taste. Delicious!

I love cantaloupe and I have always put salt on it because that's what my dad used to do. When I moved to the US in my 20's I got introduced to watermelon. For some reason it's inexistant in France, cantaloupe however is grown in the south of France and is very popular. We also cut small cantaloupes in half , remove the seeds and fill with port wine. It's a popular appetizer or served with drinks.

Lime juice on cantaloupe. I don't salt my ice cream but I do like salted caramel swirl ice cream. It took me awhile to get used to that though.

insipid flavor -a squeeze of lime brings out the best of both of them. No salt on my ice-cream

"It brings out the flavor!" they said. I later realized that this was code for "I've been a heavy smoker my entire adult life, and my taste buds are shot!"

You should try Tajin. Mexican-American and Mexican fruit vendors who sell cups of fruit - mango, watermelon, cantaloupe, etc. flavor it with Tajin. It's quite tasty.
