Corn is good. Bread is good. No need to combine them into a nasty ******* food.

Yeah, pretty sure if you get a slice of mango or cantaloupe off one of the food carts as Disneyland they come with chile powder by default.

Salt enhances the flavor of the fruit IMO. Try it with a baked sweet potato before you put butter or anything else on it. Salt brings out the flavor just a bit.
Yes vote!
I like melon either way but if there is salt on the table I would use a little. If it isn't there, fine too.

Well only heathens don't. And let's not forget grits with milk and sugar. Yummy.
And yes I get too much sugar already in what I eat and you can be addicted to sugar. Food hypocrisy is no sin.

Never heard of this. Will never try. Watermelon is perfect by itself and while the combo might be good as well, I shall rely on the philosophic wisdom of my man Jules..... sewer rat might taste like pumpkin pie but I'd never know because I wouldn't eat the........

This is actually a good point. My mom used to make me eat it when I was a kid and she was on one of her diets. Only way I'd eat it was sugared up which I assumed ruined the good part but she was happy.

I don't think it would be good to dip the melon into the salt until it coats it white. Just a little sprinkle here and there is good. A little dab'l do ya.

I'm getting the distinct impression that you just don't understand how seasoning works.

Well, you warm the melon for a bit in the microwave, then cut a hole....

Yeah, putting a pinch of salt on something people eat a couple times a year is dangerous for the blood pressure.Do you avoid salt altogether?

I hardly think a gimmicky flavored vodka called salty watermelon is a good respresentative of what watermelon with a little salt would taste like. I've had their whipped cream vodka, and guess what? It doesn't taste like whipped cream.

Is BBQ considered health food in Memphis?

I'm actually not a huge watermelon fan in that I don't generally crave it or seek it out, but I agree there isn't any good reason to hate. It's good by any standard.Premier said:

Yeah, a light sprinkle of salt on fresh fruit is driving the high sodium intake in this country.

Have tried it and have nothing against it. However watermelon is perfectly fine on its own. I see no reason to delay shoving it into my face. Slice, eat, repeat. No additional steps necessary.

I know salt on watermelon is delicious and refreshing. Also, I like roller coasters.

Mine did too at one time. He did not, however, tell me to defile a watermelon with salt, and had he done so I would have smashed one over his head.my doctor told me to eat more salt (actually true)[icon] said:

Salt on cantaloupe is a delicious treat that I learned from my southern grandfather. The salt basically brings out the flavor of the melon so much so that even a regular old cantaloupe suddenly tastes like the best, juiciest cantaloupe you ever ate.
I have never tried it on watermelon - it never occurred to me - but now I look forward to trying it out.

I'll give it a shot, because why the hell not? That said, never heard of it before earlier (NJ/NYC all my life). I'm a big fan of the sweet/salt combination (chocolate with chips, pretzels, bacon, fries, etc) but just never thought of fruit as something that would work. Probably because the level of sweetness is off the charts, and it doesn't need to be "complemented".
But will try and report back.
And no, never seen prosciutto wrapped honeydew either.
