Highwall Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 salt is a necessity of life and used since ancient times as a seasoning, a preservative and a disinfectant. I put it on watermelon, cantaloupe, cooked vegetables, steak and eggs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackwater 53393 Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 I use salt sparingly. It’s not good for ya’ in large quantity and there are other seasonings that offer more and better flavor with less detrimental effects. I use pepper, (several different varieties) in place of salt and have experienced a lower average blood pressure as a result. Having tried salt on different melons and other fruits, I only find it pleasing on tomatoes. Not bad in small dashes on cucumber. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subdeacon Joe Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 Watermelon, no. Tried it, just didn't care for it. Not bad, mind, but not to my taste for watermelon. Cantaloupe and Honeydew, yes, but in the form of Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dawg Hair, SASS #29557 Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 Si, Hai, Ja, Da, Oui! I find that salt brings out the flavor and, oddly enough, the sweetness of the fruit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waxahachie Kid #17017 L Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 Watermelon - yes. Cantaloupe - yes, and a little pepper too. Honeydew - likely. Tomatoes are a fruit, so - yes. even a dash of salt in a glass of V8. add in most vegetables. chicken, beef, turkey The doctor, and lack of a gall bladder, took me off of swine flesh, but before that, yes.

Snakejaw_Joe Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 Salt and melon do well together. Also, chop up a sweet watermelon into salad squares and squeeze a couple lemons on top. That pairs really nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
