oldtimer Posted July 10, 2006 Share Posted July 10, 2006 I used to as a kid, because as kids we would play all day in the hot Texas summer. We needed it. Now I don't, because I don't feel the need with my more sedentary adult lifestyle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Robin Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 Yes and We cut them in Pie Slice wedges. Had some today that was the best tasting so far this year. Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frzninvt Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 Salt, No. I have plugged some watermelon's with a good bottle of Rum or Vodka though growing up in the South Texas heat, what a rush! Takes a couple of days to absorb, but taste's awesome well chilled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Takes a couple of days to absorb, but taste's awesome well chilled. So that really works? I've heard of it but always thought it was a myth. What do you do just cut a hole in the rind (sp?) the shove a 5th in it and let it sit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m00n Posted July 11, 2006 Author Share Posted July 11, 2006 ??? puzzled but I have some watermelon in the fridge, maybe when I wake up.... BTW is it a dash of salt or like alot?I would suggest to taste or what ever you normally salt something. The salt really brings out the taste of the watermellon.

Coytee Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 I once told my Doctor that I look at food as one thing... "A salt delivery vehicle" She was unhappy with me [:@] I'll salt watermellon or I'll eat it unsalted just like I did the other day. Not to steal the thread, but ever have salted breadsticks? (using kosher salt) It's kind of like a soft pretzle.... yummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoubleJ Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 Yep!! Also salt cantelope..unless it is with ice cream. JJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[:$] Probably should cut back, but my blood pressure is normal and always has been, so.......... Anyhow, yep - I put salt on watermelon, honey dew melon, cantelope, pizza, cucumber, tomatoes, hard boiled eggs, celery, fried chicken, mashed potatos, pasta........well, you get the picture.

J.4knee Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 Nope never heard of salting watermelon. I rarely use salt other than to season food for cooking. Not sure I understand why you would, does this somehow enhance sweetness of the fruit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
