Wow Tm ....watermelon with salt?....I suppose to each their own I guess I like lemons with salt.......I will try it because I am a salt loving type....about chocko....I slice big thickish slices and toss them in extra virgin olive oil...place in a baking dish either on their own.. or with other vegs like carrot and potatoes onions etc...a little garlic and rosemary and roast turning every now and then for about 1 to 2 hrs depending on the sizes of the veg pieces....about 15 mins before serving ...remove from the oven and sprinkle a few drops of balsamic vinegar over the vegs...put back in the oven again and allow the vegs to finish caramelizing.I promise you will love it! texture....like Shari said squash like but a firmer texture if not overcooked....I make choko pickles and they are also terrific in curry....taking up the flavour of whatever they are cooked with . See picture of one of my choko bombs lodged in the twisted willow I can't reach it ....not even with a rake...I will have to wait for the next big wind to throw it down. Hi everyone else......gosh one day away and so much to catch up on ......:)
