Does anyone else sprinkle salt on their watermelon?

[LostInAnomie]

I do, and it is fucking delicious. No one else I know does it though.

Anyone else do this?

1. Mrs. V. does, and so did my mother.

I think it ruins the taste of the watermelon, but to each his own.

:hi:

[MrCoffee]

2. Of course. Salted watermelon is the only way to go.

:thumbsup:

[Rabrrrrrr]

3. Yes, at least one other person than you does so. Me.

I love it!

The salt brings out the sweetness.

[Tektonik]

4. ewww, but I always loved prosciutto or any salty, super thin ham slice on canteloupe

:9

[Bake]

5. I have, and it's good.

It's also good with no salt.

Bake

[DarkTirade]

6. No. You're just a freak.

:P

7. I do, or well I used to. Gotta watch my sodium intake, but as

a kid I always did. When my wife saw me doing it she looked at me and said, :wtf:

[DeposeTheBoyKing]

8. I grew up doing that - and I put pepper on cantaloupe

If you haven't tried either, do it - it's all delicious!

[redqueen]

9. My mom did... and I have... but I don't normally.

I eat even the lightest pink part on the rind though... my mom said it'd give me a stomachache... but I don't think it ever has.

10. I do sometimes

But am watching sodium intake, so it's not common, but I love it.

I learned it from my dad, who also salted and peppered cantaloupe. Haven't tried that. Yet.

[graywarrior]

11. I know someone who sprinkles pepper on their watermelon.

[supernova]

12. Not watermelon, but I do salt canteloupe

Really makes it pop.

[rustydog]

13. Ice cold watermelon and Salt...YUMMY!!!

[Fox Mulder]

14. Ewww...gross. Hell no.

:puke:

[hippywife]

15. I used to.

Then I found that I love the taste of watermelon just as it is. Also need to watch my sodium. But you're right it is delicious.

The weirdest I've seen in this area has been since I moved down here to OK. I used to work with a woman who would put salt and pepper on her fresh oranges. Bleh!

:hi:

[Zavulon]

16. I've never even HEARD of this practice.

I will try it, though.

[Hissyspit]

19. It's good. Don't add too much, though.

[MrsBrady]

17. i do...yum n/t

[Hissyspit]

18. The entire Southern U.S.

[Lyric]

20. Both of my parents did.

My Dad was the worst; he salted watermelon, salted apples, and salted AND peppered cantaloupe. :puke:

I don't like melon, so it's never been an issue for me. However, a good piece of sharp white cheddar on apple pie....mmmmm. :9
