Some people have a (genetic?) predisposition to really like salt on things. I had a friend where most of their family salted things you wouldn’t expect and had lots of salty foods. Salt on melon slices for instance, snack foods like pickles and such. Dad died of a heart attack. No idea if it’s related.

    Salt on melon is legit, if you apply only a light amount and let the salt spread through the watery flesh before eating it then it actually makes it taste much sweeter without being salty tasting.

    My gran loved salt, and would pour a pile of it onto her plate to dip things in. My mum's always been more of a health freak than her mother, but as she's gotten older her cooking has started including noticeably more salt.
