To salt to NOT to salt, that is the question (for those who love eating watermelons)

[the ringo kid]

So what's your favorite way of eating watermelon? with or without salt? I like mine with and without--but prefer with.

Reason im asking (ESPECIALLY for those who live in Texas) I just went through two mid-sized "seedless" melonsin a week. This newest crop we are getting from here doesnt come from the Valley--but from the Poteet area--also famed for their Strawberries. These are some fo the sweetest ive had in years-and yes--I eat the seeds too.

PS, anxiously awaiting for the Figs to start coming in.

Absolutely, positively, irrefutably I cannot eat watermelon, sweet or not, without salt. You hereby have my vote.

 

[TAROMAN]

Salt, definitely. Same for grapefruit.
Sweet and salt go together like well....peanut butter and jelly.

 

[the ringo kid]

Amen to that. I also do that to Strawberries too.

 

[gdnagle]

No salt here but a little, (or Lot) of some good shine works wonders.

My preference for eating watermelon is definitely with salt. Strange what we get used to isn't it.

 

[ACP230]

I don't eat watermelon much anymore.
When I did the salt shaker was handy.

I guess I actually didn't know there was any other way to eat watermelon than with salt. Yep, I vote salt.

I guess I've lived a sheltered life, I've never heard of watermelon with salt, guess I've gotta try it!

 

[Dennis The B]

I vote for salt. And with cantaloupe, apples, and grapefruit.

 

[zzzippper]

No salt. Tried it as a kid but it just wasn't the "norm".

 

[bhayles]

So what's your favorite way of eating watermelon? with or without salt?

There's even any question? With, of course!

 

[ralph7]

Salt for sure!

I put salt on top of my beer can as well.

 

[shouldazagged]

Lightly salted. For cantaloupe, salt and fresh-ground black pepper.

 

[Rule3]

NO salt on melon or Maters and no sugar on Grapefruit, what's wrong with you people?

 

[DeadAye]

SALT???
Do you put the salt on before or after you pour the rum over the watermelon?
Salt & rum? Maybe if you pour tequila on your melon....

Nahhhhhhhh - I'm sticking with rum.

 

[DeadAye]

PS - My way works even if you don't have a watermelon

 

[The Celt]

Two slices one with one without.

 

[johnbeaver]

Salt. Well, yes. Doesn't everybody.
I will give that rum thing a try.

 

[RonJ]

I can eat it with or without. However if I start with salt I gotta finish with salt.
