Feed Dump: The Salty Watermelon

[punipunipyo]

IN Taiwan, people eat fruits with little bit of salt, only tiny bit, it actually makes the sweet less fruit sweeter... don't ask, try it with a tomato, or starfruit, just tiny bit, it actually make tomato/starfruit sweeter... now watermelon... IS a sweet fruit to begin with... I have NO IDEA why salt there, unless it's using the bad watermelons, which are tasteless or bitter... eww...

As I understand, watermelon pickling is a fairly common thing. This could be what they refer to.

Haha! Personally, I hate it when fries get into my bowl of ketchup. Fries ruin everything. Even mayo.

Why would you have a bowl of ketchup? Do you eat it with a spoon?

Salt has nothing to do with pickling. You pickle things in vinegar.

Ah, of course. Thanks.

Fun Language Trivia Time

Did you know that Russian uses the same word for "salted" and "pickled"?

Modern cows don't have a natural environment.
Directed evolution has made captivity their 'natural' environment.
Releasing them into the wild would likely either destroy the local eco system or just kill them.

Salty Melon still has nothing on Tentacle Grape soda. Seriously it's a real thing.

... Japan, why do you make it so hard for us to take you seriously?

Anyway, poor James, he always gets the crappy roles. I'd give him a hug, but... he's not cuddly enough.

... I am now immensely curious as to how the rest of the LRR crew rates on the cuddly scale. I must know how cuddly Kathleen is!
