Seeing as I do all the cooking in our house, I do not add salt to anything, except when having a pork or lamb roast.

The predominant reason I use salt is either to assist boiling or to make a brine.

Great minds think alike I also never put salt on corn on the cob, as I only buy corn at the Santa Monica Farmer's market, and that corn was picked probably the day before. I am definitely going to try your lime suggestion. That sounds so good. The first corn of the season just arrived this weekend and it was so sweet, it could be eaten raw.
