aslantdamn you, 2/$4 cantaloupes, why are you not as sweet and tasty as i wanted you to be? i shall console myself in the arms of my $2.99/lb cherries. sigh.
did anyone put salt and/or pepper on fruit, growing up? kirk's family grew acres & acres of cantaloupes, some years, and they would eat them every night after dinner, with salt & pepper on top. i never knew about putting salt on watermelon until he taught me. until very recently, i thought putting sugar on strawberries was pretty weird, but now it seems to be the norm. my favorite thing is to soak them in a mixture of basalmic vinegar & sugar, which is a caterer's trick to make the strawberries look riper. but the taste is pretty fantastic, too.
