Watermelon - To Salt or Not To Salt

[Cassie 8]

salt on watermelon gives me the heebie jeebies

[Mary Lou 681]

No salt, just lime juice on occasion.

[Welshcookie 17]

No salt....but yes to vodka!

[KarenCee 3]

No salt for me...and if it's a southern thing, nobody told me after all these years!

[Krikit 1,164]

Wow. I learned some new things today.

I've never heard of putting salt on watermelon and it sounds gross. I don't even like watermelon anyway...

I know people who put chili powder on fruit and say it's good. I doubt it.

if the watermelon isnt a real tasty one i will salt it.

[VisaJourneyLady 33]

maybe it makes the watermelon more isotonic... it does seem to be more common in the warmer southern states

Watermelon is nice and refresing, especially on a hot summer day... but NO SALT!!!

so for the people who eat it with salt.. why do you put salt on it?

I was reading that supposedly the salt makes a bland watermelon taste sweeter..

Sounds really strange when one can just buy a "sugarbaby" watermelon if one wants a sweeter taste.

well, they might not have access to those..

Eh, they're just as easily available as the regular--just pricier (per lb).

We don't have sugarbaby watermelons round my way, so Marilyn's comment was perfectly acceptable - certainly not worthy of a rofl smilie.
