Try a tiny dab of salt on melon. It brings the flavour out wonderfully.



Goodness! I've never heard that, Sacha. I shall do it, albeit
nervously, next time I have melon. I'll report back.

My (former) Italian mil put me onto that. Like you, I was taken aback
having known only the English habit of using a bit of powdered ginger
which, to my tastebuds, does good, ripe, juicy melon no favours at all.
I was just amazed at how good it was and now do it always.



I've not even had ginger with melon until fairly recently (in a
restaurant). My mother used to serve it with a light sprinkle of sugar,
but RG and I eat it au naturel. Not very adventurous.
