Salt on watermelon, cantaloupe and pumpkin pie. Thanks Grandpa for introducing me to all three.
Really good watermelon I prefer plain, but average watermelon gets a boost with a little salt.
Never heard of it on pumpkin pie but I could definitely see the attraction.

Grits. Salt is common, pepper less so IME.
I’m partial to sliced tomatoes on buttered toast, I add seasalt to that.
I like coarsely ground pepper on cream cheese and bagels, and also just on plain buttered toast.
I put salt on bananas - learned that from my mother.
Count me in with the pepper on cottage cheese contingent. For me, cottage cheese is a savory, not a sweet. I don’t understand eating it with fruit.
I use salt within, I guess you could say, “normal” limits. Not pepper. There rarely is too much pepper. Like @pulykamell, love it on cream cheese and bagels. When I make pumpkin bread I add in a 1/4 tsp of a pepper blend I like. Pepper bounces nicely off the usual pumpkin spices added. Tomato soup? Pepper. Grilled cheese sandwich? Pepper.
Corn on the cob? Salt and white pepper.
The coffee additions sound so odd but tasty that id like to try it.
I like garlic salt on buttered bread.
Sometimes I’ll do a salt lime shot without the tequila just salt then lime. Bad bad bad
Nothing.
Meaning… I have never put salt or pepper on anything.
Freshly ground black pepper gets added to the milk-egg mixture when I make French toast. That’s a trick I learned from my mother.
I add a pinch of salt in the strawberries when making strawberry shortcake and the like. Not enough to make them taste salty, just enough to accentuate the flavor.
When you put rock salt in coffee, it takes out the bitterness.
Salt on cantaloupe is similar to the classic combination of prosciutto with melon. The salty and sweet flavors complement each other.
Maida Heatter’s Book of Great Chocolate Desserts has a recipe for black pepper brownies. I made them a couple of times, and they’re really good.
Club soda over ice with lemon and salt - very refreshing.
My Mom puts salt and pepper on cantaloupe as well.

Do you drop it salt on the way home, perhaps?
As I child I noticed my mother always sprinkled pepper on her cantaloupe. So I tried it and like it. And to this day I sprinkle pepper on my cantaloupe.
Pickle juice and pepper on potato chips.
I’ve always said my Dad would put salt on salt. Our eldest seems to have inherited that.
