Try pepper. You may be surprised what foods it can enhance.

My Pa would sit on the floor in the lounge and crack open a watermelon, my siblings and I would circle around armed with teaspoons and we’d stab at it like it was a delicious exposed brain.

the right kind of spoon for watermelon eating is a WW2 US Army, like the one my dad brought home – my watermelon spoon for many years, in several countries.

”They are good people and have hardly killed anyone…”

Typical, gloss over the hundreds killed in the Forkland Islands.

Well, there’s always spiking a watermelon with your favorite liquor.

Our Order of the Arrow lodge used to have an annual summer watermelon sacrifice. Swords and watermelon fun!

I like how you left out the period after “Yuck.” It’s like, yeah, you didn’t like the salt, but you’re open to other possible fruit/spice combos.

Don’t knock it till you’ve tried it. Just one chunk of melon, a little lime juice, and a bit of dill. It works for me but chacun à son goût.

There’s actually a Japanese game that uses swords, blindfolds, and melons (suika). You blindfold the person with the sword and have them whack at the melon until they cut it open. Then everybody eats.

I just spent eight minutes trying to find a youtube clip of the “adjusting the crankshaft” scene from The Couch Trip.

Here’s my grandson using his lego Dremel to get at the edges of his watermelon. I think
he will be teaching a Watermelon Tech class soon.

Damn. Am I the only one who spend 9 minutes expecting that this watermelon experience would suddenly turn into something extraordinary ?

I don’t know, like errr, like juice + marshmallow = non-newtonian fluid, or potent explosive, or acid reaction that eats through all the pulp and then solidifies into a tasty phosphorescent jelly, or instant rhum, or a portrait of Lincoln eating a pie…

Sight… am I the only one ? Did Internet spoil me to the point I’m not capable of enjoying this ‘per se’ anymore ?

Sad.

A faded or yellow stripe along one side — it’s fully vine-ripened.

I hope retirement is still around when I get to be his age. And that I’ll have a wealth of ideas to share where fruit eating techniques are concerned.

it’s a lot easier to make a watermelon helmet after cutting it across the stripes.

He lost me at 90 degrees from the surface of the watermelon. I’m more of a 60 degrees kind of guy.

I know, it’s like a dog peed on the fruit. Yeah, it tastes different. Yeah it tastes more intense. Like pee.
