Pepper I could understand, but not the salt. I've always been appalled at the idea of salt on melon or other fruit. And even on a fresh tomato! I remember going to visit my Dad's family in Alabama when I was 13. We had a picnic with water melon and my aunt asked me if I wanted a piece. I said, "Yes, please." and she proceeded to put a large slice on a plate for me and salt it!!!! I had to choked that abomination down.

What about in Mexico where street vendors sell oranges topped with ground chiles (maybe some salt, too, not sure about that). How does that grab ya?

Because just a LITTLE salt - not enough to come through as a definite sense of "saltiness" - will enhance the perception of sweetness in the melon's flavor. Bob M. |

Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's what they always say, but it ain't true, afaiac. Just ruins the fruit.

I tried salt and pepper on watermelon earlier this summer, and thought it was quite good. (Then I made a watermelon salsa to put on top of Dungeness crab tostadas. That was good, too.) I've got a cantaloupe sitting on my counter right now; maybe I'll try The Widow Geraldine's treatment with it. Bob |

I remember reading an article in the food section of the newspaper that described various uses for black pepper. One of the ideas was to sprinkle it on strawberries. YUCK! |
