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?

No. But my grandmother used to put sugar in her beer. Does anyone else
rememeber their grandmother sugaring their beer?

Some of the regulars at the local taverns used to sprinkle a dash of
salt in their draft beer and sharply rap the glass rim with the salt
shaker. This would **** off the waiters but seemed to take away a bit
of the bitterness. I didn't like doing it.

Another one from the memory banks. :)

I seem to remember the salt in beer thing from Navy days. All it seemed to
do was reduce the size of the head when drawn from the tap or poured
incorrectly from a bottle into a glass.

I remember salty dogs from my navy days, and maybe after a while I
couldn't tell gin from beer. Talking about memory banks, I used to
salt my watermelon per family tradition but don't any more. I'll
remember to do it next time I have watermelon.

Salt goes on Watermellon, cantaloupe, tart apples, and maybe a lemon.
