Or other melons like Cantaloupe, Honeydew Melon, etc. Yes? No?

 

Yes!

Cantaloupe YES.  I don't much eat other melons but if they re ever put in front of me I'll ask for salt.

No no no !!!!

Grew up using that shaker

Posted

No on any of them.

Posted

Not EVER!  NEVER!!!

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.:rolleyes:

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.

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 

Prosciutto- Wrapped Melon

Watermelon - Sometimes 

Honeydew - No way, it’s too good. Doesn’t need anything. 

Cantaloupe - I hate that stuff

Yes. If I cut an apple into 6 or so pieces I like it on that too.

Yep....and raw veggies of most any kind.

 

Blood pressure?  I eat a LOT of salt and my BP averages 123-128 / 70-78  Oxygen retention os 93-95%.

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.

No on watermelon...why, I don't care for watermelon!

Other melons....No . I like the natural taste of melons, they don't need anything to change their flavor!

Posted

Salt on watermelon and cantaloupe- yes. Brings out the sweet. Honey dew- don't eat it.

Posted

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.

Posted

Yes to salt on watermelon.

No to salt on cantaloupe and honey dew.

Si, Hai, Ja, Da, Oui!

I find that salt brings out the flavor and, oddly enough, the sweetness of the fruit.

 

same reason you put a little in homemade ice cream

Not for me.  Apparently in my family that makes me the black sheep.

 

     ......looks like it makes us both black sheep here ......   :blush:

Misread it.
I thought it said “Sat on your watermelon”.

No never have. Even during Covid lockdown.

I know from personal experience that one Oklahoma farmer back in the early 1950's salted some of the watermelons in his patch with rock salt from his shotgun. :ph34r:
