Salt on watermelon - yes or no? (1 Viewer)

[Andrew74]

How is "no" even an option? The choices should be "yes" and "obviously."

This place continues to surprise me.

Everyone must be accidentally voting 'no'. There's no other explanation.

 

[belljr]

I rub salt in the womb

 

[babydemon90]

Heard of it - think my grandmother did it. Just never thought about trying it. I'll try it next time.

 

[mr roboto]

Never tried it.

 

[Eminence]

Oh yeah, I like to wash it down with a glass of mustard.

 

[metoo]

I thought this was a southern thing like boiled peanuts.

 

[pollardsvision]

Yes.

 

[roadkill1292]

Yes.

I can't believe the number of people that haven't heard of this.

 

[phrozen]

Ever eat the bark off of a pineapple?

 

[phrozen]

Do you ppt the salt on right after slicing or do you use a salt packet when you are about to eat the watermelon?

Salt on right before eating it. Doesn't take much.

 

[TheAristocrat]

Never tried it. Watermelon is awesome, as is.

That counts Rud out.

 

[shadyridr]

Ok i just tried this. I put the salt on the entire watermelon, then cut up the watermelon bit didnt taste any difference. I only tasted the salt when i licked the outer green part.

 

[Aaron Rudnicki]

Never heard of this. I'm intrigued.

[lakerstan]

In-laws do this. Chile powder too. Can't stand it. Leave my effing fruit alone!

 

[RBM]

Salt on canataloup is also awesome.

Really? That sounds like it may make you barf?

Sweet and salty - yeah, that's like some Andrew Zimmern nightmare.

Sprinkle on the fleshy red part only.

Tastes like cold sea water. Vote.....NO!

You're not supposed to coat it in salt...just a pinch. It brings out the sweetness and makes it even more refreshing.Bunch of unrefined rednecks in here.

Silver queen white sweet corn, picked fresh and boiled or roasted and a bunch of butter and salt is a little bit of heaven.

So some guy who was alive when Lincoln was shot is the authority here? Even his salt is archaic. Coarse sea salt is the way to go, and he's completely wrong about salt taking away the sweetness. In fact, salt enhances the sweetness.Video fail.

Corn is okay as long as its not transformed into the vile stuff known as cornbread or creamed corn. As long as it stays in its natural form, its legit.Now let's keep this train on track, if you wanna talk corn, start a new thread.

I used to agree with this....but now I enjoy corn with zero toppings, its sweet and delicious by itself. Had a plain ear of grilled corn earlier with a pork chop and potato salad, and some watermelon with salt for dessert. Gotta love summertime.That said, much like watermelon, there's nothing wrong with a little salt to bring out the natural sweetness in corn. It doesn't NEED butter, but I won't judge you if you use it.

Yeah - that guy truly sucks.

I would torture him too.

Holy mother of god how can someone so right about watermelon be so wrong about cornbread?

 

[Aaron Rudnicki]

Someone who doesn't like cornbread can't be trusted. Fact.

 

[shuke]

Of course.

I tried it once but the salt really burned my butthole.

Not even this watermelon margarita?

Little heavy on the salt though ...
