I cannot answer your poll effectively. While I don't do the salt thing, my momma does, so of course I can't say you're crazy, that would be implicating my good Southern upbringing.

You pick a good melon in different ways. For a cantaloupe or honeydew, you sniff it and check the stem end for ripeness. If the seams are too green or it smells green, don't buy it, won't be sweet or soft.

For watermelon, thump it. Should have a nice hollow sound, not a dull sound. Make sure nobody has cored it anywhere to check ripeness(the bastiches).

Oh no! My great uncle has called me a redneck all my life, and now I find out it's TRUE! But he's kinda a redneck his damn self, so maybe that colors his perception . . .

I want a figurine of a little black boy eating a watermelon...but they're hard to find in Canada. All you can find here is little Innus eating seals.

I find cantaloupe revolting, so I can't take your poll.
