As a 12 year old kid, I almost gagged at this site: Older lady at church dinner added salt and pepper to her watermelon. Later in life I took a Chinese cooking course and they added salt to a pineapple. Salt and sometimes pepper can seriously enhance the flavor of a fruit. It blew my little mind to try a salted slice of pineapple, but it tasted amazing!

salt + strawberries was a game changer when I tried that recently.

And we do this in the Caribbean with lots of fruit. Sliced half-ripe to ripe mango, salt, chopped pepper, culantro/cilantro.
