My wife salts everything....she'd salt cereal if she thought I'd let her get away with it. Her habit is sufficiently bad that our almost 6-year-old and 3-year-old think it's a special treat to lick their hand. dump some salt on it, and lick the salt off.

That said, I had to agree with her when we had a fresh watermelon last week and she got out the normal (not sea) salt shaker -- it was actually pretty good!

I also subscribe to the thought that the heavier the melon is compared to its size, the more ripe it is -- this seems to be especially true with cantaloupes.
