Watermelon

Yes. Virtually any other fruit. Watermelon is tasteless and the most disgusting candy flavor.

Yes.

Fresh, cold RIPE honeydew melon.

R1 Heathen!

Yes.

Fresh, cold lychee.

Watermelon is a delight on a hot day.

Careful! The seeds can grow in your belly.

Did we really need a verbose instructional blog post for something as basic as this? What's next, how to pour a glass of milk? How to spread jam on toast?

I love watermelon - it is the quintessential summer fruit.

I went to the Austin farmer's market one time and bought a glass of fresh watermelon juice. It was unsweetened and as revolting as one might imagine.

I also bought a bunch of peaches thinking I would turn them into schnapps, but they got moldy in two days and I ended up throwing them all out.

Delicious, fragrant durian fruit!

Like a noseful of ME!

OP, I need to know your race before I can comment responsibly on this post.

I don't care for any type of fresh melon to be honest, but I do love me some watermelon Jolly Ranchers!

[quote]Is there anything better than fresh, cold watermelon in the summer?

Well, there's penis.

Watermelon used to be delicious. Then the bred the seeds out, and the flavor left with them.

I get a small seedless watermelon and a big honeydew melon and cut them both up into rindless chunks and keep in a bowl in my fridge in the summer. it's my favorite sweet non-icecream snack.

Careful. Too much of it and you'll waste away and die. It's that notoriously dangerous watermelon diet, not any kind of virus.

I like to cut up a watermelon and add lime juice, lime zest, and honey.

add a little chopped basil or mint r17

My mum was a Brit. She taught me to cut my watermelon out of the rind. Cube it up and eat it with a knife and fork. Of course the first time I did this at summer camp I was beaten savagely.

Love it - great for weight loss!!

Yes. Fresh, cold watermelon from Spain.

It will make you wonder what you were putting in your mouth all those years until you knew better.

The kind we had last summer from the Carpathian region has a dark green rind, is round like a ball and super sweet. I don't like sugar so it wasn't for me. Some people here put it on salad with cubes of goat cheese that is far less gamey than the one back home and serve it with pecans on a bed of baby spinach or butter lettuce and a dry, sparkling wine. Not my thing but definitely good for those who like it.

How about some watermelon agua fresca!

Watermelon helps keep your dick hard!

I can eat, and eat, and eat the stuff (with a sprinkle of salt, of course)! In the summer, I make whole meals out of fresh cold watermelon, sliced Beefsteak tomatoes (also with salt and cracked black pepper), and hot, buttery corn-on-the-cob (salted and peppered).

I love watermelon sherbet.

Grilled watermelon tastes better than it sounds.

Cook for me sometime, will you, R25

I love watermelon. It will stain clothing though. Watch the drips.

I am one of those that doesn't care for Watermelon but you all enjoy. I like all other melons but Watermelon is rather bland to me and I burp it like mad and it doesn't taste any better the second time.

dammit, I am going to have to lug home a watermelon when I go to the office Friday morning

I'm a big white poppa R11. Although my neighbor does call me home skillet.

R4 - yes, lychee juice is the nectar of the gods. I don't care for any type of melon, TBH.

R32 what does Homeskillet mean? Is it a compliment? Does it mean Homie?

Fucking revolting food.

R35 - what is revolving? It's pretty much all water except for a dash of sugar.

I love it with cucumbers in a "fire and ice" salsa.

[quote] Well, there's penis.

But, is it fresh and cold?

Why don't you ask Harry...?

R35 Sickly sweet. Queasy at the thought of it frankly.

Watermelon turned me into a Lesbian. Just one day, suddenly.

I drank watermelon juice once. I think I got high from the sugar. It was dreamy.

Is the yellow watermelon any different? I occasionally see it at the stores..

I don't like the yellow. or, maybe the one that I got just didn't taste great. I was more mellony without the sweetness.

OP, are you going to start a fried chicken thread next?

R44 I agree about the yellow watermelon. It has little to no flavor at all, in my experience. R43 You're not missing anything. Odd in a way, when I think about it. Yellow (Golden) cherry tomatoes are less acidic than the red versions, but their flavor is BEYOND. They're amazing.

But yes. Yellow watermelon is a waste, in my experience.

I prefer chunks of refrigerated fresh pineapple cut precisely into equally sided squares using the latest GPS-satellite numerical (and rich-in-vitamin) coordinates.

R44, R46, thanks -- good to know! I guess people just buy it for the novelty of a yellow watermelon, rather than flavor.

I heard there's too much sugar in it? And also not good for those with IBS.

Finally, other people who can't stand the taste of watermelon. I thought I was the only one. To me, the flavor is worse than beets. FWIW, I find any kind of melon repulsive.

R50 same here. My mother used to cut up cantaloupe weekly when it was in season and leave it in the refrigerator where it would make anything else in there that wasn't tightly sealed smell and taste like melon. She loved it, but it turned my stomach. Just gross.

I had some friends over for lunch a few years ago and melon was the dessert and I asked them if they would like salt on theirs, and they gave me the funniest look. But that's how my family always at it, and I still do.

Watermelon is the best.

Cantaloupe, other melons these things have in common with the watermelon only five letters and a shape.

Cantaloupe has an overripe moldy taste, like death, that lingers too long.

There's a local supermarket that sells what they call a Mexican Melon which I believe is a cantaloupe/honeydew hybrid and it is fantastic. It looks like a honeydew on the outside, has orange flesh, is utterly delicious and is fodmap-friendly to IBS sufferers.

R55 what part of the country can you find it in?

Does anyone like papaya?

*Tacoma Boys supermarket, to be specific

Cold, sweet, crunchy watermelon rocks.
