My late grandma (Mississippi born and raised) ate salt on her watermelon. I (a native Texan) prefer mine without.

Ditto on the salt on the watermelon. I think it brings out the sweetness/flavor better. Do you eat your cantalopes with pepper? Good Pecos cantalopes. I haven't seen many outside Texas who put pepper on them, but it's good.

"Good Pecos cantalopes."

There are only two really good cantaloupes in the world - those from Pecos and those from Presidio.
Both better with a little bit of black pepper....
