Pineapple. Try it on pineapple.

>Buy whole Pineapple
>remove peel
>remove core
>slice into cubes or something
>very large bowl of very cold water.
>salt. maybe the size of a die
>stir
>add pineapple
>wait 30 minutes

This will remove all tartness and leave you with really sweet pineapple.

Try vanilla salt, Better yet, high heat on a grille, and salt the watermelon with vanilla salt, give it a quick sear on the grille, that caramelized salty goodness..

Where I'm from, not only do we lightly salt watermelon, but we eat it with a little olive oil, too. I mean, this isn't the norm, but is /is/ an option.
Some people even peel the green part from the rind and pickle it in vinegar after the sweet red flesh has been eaten.

When I got sent on a work assignment to small-town Texas, I saw locals putting salt + pepper on melon.

I tried it and it wasn't that bad. IMO, the best tasting melon with the salt/pepper combo was honeydew.

One summer I was tree planting and my water bottles broke when I got out of the helicopter. I was delirious all day, could not stop thinking about water, and had a crazy headache. When I got back to camp they had watermelon. I put salt on it to replenish electrolytes and it was *AMAZING*.

Since then it has been a summer treat.

This works because salt suppresses bitterness. I read a neurological explanation for this, but can't remember it clearly.

This is why we pair melon with parma ham, or salt green vegetables to make them more palatable.

Salted caramel is my delicious.

I had pork with a salted caramel sauce once, thinking it would be terrible.

It was so good, it was savoury enough to compliment the pork, but sweet enough to still have that caramel flavour.
