I don't care for it, in general. It doesn't disgust me, nor would it ever occur to me to purchase one. Just general feeling of deep "meh."
My FIL, a retired/bored grocer, enjoys scouring sale fliers and coming over and dropping off deals he found. Mostly this is cool, but, right now, a result is that i have a huge watermelon that doesn't excite me in the least.
I need some ways* to prepare it that might be more appealing than just eating as -is, which does nothing for me.
*don't suggest cutting a hole and filling with vodka, please. I don't like vodka, either. Not adverse to other alcoholic recipes, though.
If you ever find yourself stuck with another melon, here are some suggestions
I thought I would start a thread for people's thoughts on Watermelon.. how to pick the best one, what to eat them with... if you love them or hate them.. their health benefits.. anything you desire!
Little House On The Prairie by Laura Ingalls Wilder. Read the simple chapter titled "Fever 'N' Ague".
Yea, It's 'tis the season for these fridge-space taker-uppers.
Whats with the micro melons I am seeing in stores? There cant be much flesh in them.
Round or oblong, I like the big ones and have gotten pretty good at picking a ripe one. Seems the seeded variety has more flavor, but I also eat the seedless ones.
I understand there are MANY varieties. Has anyone found their favorite?
The little ones are great for single people or a family where only one person likes watermelon.Both DH and I like watermelon a lot, and when we buy a big one, we bring some to our friend who has a wife who hates the texture if ut and doesn't buy it.
