I totally sugar strawberries if they are going to go on shortcake or something... and if I'm just eating them I'll sugar them if they are sour. I enjoy soaking Pineapple in Malibu too ... =)

As someone said putting a litle salt on melons that aren't very sweet improves the flavor.

Strawberries--dip first in sour cream, then in brown sugar--yummy.

That's the first I've heard of that, but it sounds REALLY good.

How does making something salty make it taste sweeter?

I mean if I pour salt in my coke at lunch, it'll taste sweeter?

Salt on melon? I've never heard of such a thing.

Strawberries are really good if you cut off the stems, cut them in half, put them in a big bowl and sprinkle sugar over them, and store in the fridge for a day or so until you get yummy sweet strawberries and juice -- SO GOOD over vanilla ice cream.

That's exactly how we do our strawberries too!

I put salt on my watermelon. If it's fresh and really ripe, it doens't need it but those you get at the very begining and end of the season need it.
I also put salt on my Granny Smith apples. That I learned from my dad. It's abou the only way I like to eat them.
As far as strawberries go, put as much sugar on them as possible and pop them in the fridge. I love eating them with all the juice and them whipped cream (the canned stuff please). Come to think of it, I actually like a little strawberry with my whipped cream in the summer. But I love eating the really tart, firm strawberries with out anything on them.
I also love eating white rice with plenty of sugar and butter. That I've been doing for as long a I can remember.

Salt is a flavor enhancer. The idea is not to put so much on that it tastes salty, jut enough to bring out the natural flavor.

Same reason many people put salt in their beer.

Wow, really? The only beverages I salt are margaritas and bloody marys.

and coronas.


i'm from cali - but my family's from oklahoma/texas, so i've grown up putting salt on bland melons and adding sugar to strawberries.

someone earlier mentioned cutting strawberries, adding sugar and putting them in the fridge... i do that, and add just a tad bit of water, which mixes really nicely with the natural juice the strawberries release.

I sugar my strawberries too.

(not from the South either......)

I put sugar on my strawberries as well and I'm from the Canadian west coast - I think it's a British thing, because I learned it from both my grandmothers (who are both English).

Here's a combo I know most of you will find weird: gravy with fries instead of ketchup - it tastes so good! - very common in Canada.

For the life of me, I'm having the hardest time figuring out how this would work. Today at lunch I almost ordered a coke but then realized if I put salt in it, I'd get fired for being weird

Speaking of sweet/salty...my friend's kid had this "Munchies" stuff...it was Doritos and Cheetos and Pretzels and also Captain Crunch. That just sounds disgusting. I mean, everything else but the Capt Crunch sounds ok together. But I'm not a big fan of that cereal to begin with, so that could be it too.

I like funyans yo. Those are salty and yummy
