Salt on your watermelon?

I didn't realize how passionate some folks about their fruits! In NC its just about 50/50 on the salt. I will have to try the lime juice on the honeydew though.

I don't put salt on my watermelon, but I do understand it. Salt and sweetness do go well together. Ever have chocolate covered pretzels? Or anything of that nature combining salty and sweet?

I can assure you that a chocolate covered pretzel is better than a naked pretzel and better than plain chocolate.

Yep...I voted salt...but I will go both ways (on watermellon

)...I've even had it BBQ'd in Savannah years ago (it was...odd).

I might use some salt on watermelon that isn't sweet. But generally, no salt on sweet watermelon.

I do make kimchee using watermelon - the white edge (no red or rind). Sweet, juicy, crisp, salty, spicy. Yum.

That has never occurred to me. Generally I don't like salty/sweet combinations.

I did that many years ago, but stopped a long time back. Never salted watermelon, though.

My brother salts his watermelon, but then again, he is maladjusted in other ways too.

Depends on how sweet the melon is. If it's not sweet and not much flavor I'll throw a little salt on it.

I used to do it, when I was a kid. Now, though, between cutting back on salt a number of years ago and preferring to taste watermelon and not salt I eat my watermelon unadulterated.

Hell no on watermelons and I really like salt on most things.

Not only do my wife and I insist on salt on the watermelon, I put sugar on sliced tomatos

With salt is the only way, it brings out the flavor. Everyone who says no way has never tried it or is just plain watermelon deficient.
