Watermelon

[Natasha]

So I was just enjoying some watermelon and it made me think of a thread to post here. I have had MANY people tell me I'm crazy when I mention that I salt my watermelon. Some think it's disgusting (usually those who haven't tried it, IJS) and some say "why wouldn't you use sugar?"

So what do you do? I grew up salting my watermelon. It brings out the natural sweetness and just makes it taste better, IMO I will eat watermelon plain, but I prefer it lightly salted.

its like the corn debate: salt AND butter? salt? just butter?

 

[AUFred]

with or without salt is ok.

 

[griz bear]

Yeah, with a little salt or natural - no salt both are good !

 

[FoxInSox]

As long as the flesh is nice and red and sweet, I eat it plain.
Have had it with a little salt before as well.

Dammit, now I want some more watermelon. Good thing I still have lots in the fridge!!!

As for corn...just butter.

I grew up salting mine, but I really prefer it plain. Here in south Texas they have this spicy, citrussy, salty, stuff they sprinkle on watermelon or lots of other fruits. I think they're as nuts as they think I am.

I still salt mine sometimes.

Yes! real butter, and Mrs. Dash or garlic powder with lots of pepper.
Now I want some buttery corn lol
Wonder if the corn guy delivers this time of night? :24:

I have had salt on melon before. Anymore I use lite salt for corn and also like the Mrs.Dash a lot.
