I read that they are sometimes eaten with salt.

This reminded me of something that my grandmother did - mainly, eat a
salted apple. It's actually pretty good tasting as I remember it.

Anybody remember grandparents doing that?

I'm a grandparent now and I used to do it as a kid. Guys I work with
still do it. Works to tame a sour apple.

Never have done it but it sounds like a natural - sweet and salty go
great together. My favorite example that some people here in NY, where
I live now, think is strange, but was de rigeur in Philly where I grow
up, and seems to me to go without saying - vanilla ice cream with
pretzels.

milk shake. Nirvana.
