I like my melon cold, with seeds, no salt

Amen.


... and I eat the seeds!

Other than salt or maybe sugar, I haven't heard of putting anything else on/with watermelon.

[Edited on June 12, 2011 at 8:40 PM. Reason : Also, does anyone else eat the seeds?]

That isn't very in depth...

6/12/2011 8:39:57 PM

I had a roommate sophomore year that would buy one, cut it in half, and then eat a whole half with a spoon.

6/12/2011 8:40:10 PM

I don't like watermelon. Period.

6/12/2011 8:40:24 PM

this is so profound I don't even know how to react

wat

6/12/2011 8:41:46 PM

Cutting it in half and scooping out the insides with a spoon is the ONLY WAY TO DO IT

understand?!??!

6/12/2011 8:41:49 PM

Salted melon angers me.

Though I don't like salt on a lot of things, such as corn.

But yeah, you have to have seeds too. I'm from the Bogue area of Eastern NC, so I'm pretty loyal to Bogue Sound Watermelons, what with their official classification and their notorious awesomeness.

6/12/2011 8:42:07 PM

i'm not a huge fan of watermelon, but when i eat it i salt it. cherries are my favorite summer treat.

6/12/2011 8:42:31 PM

yes i get this reaction often. some people do like the seeded watermelons for the spittin' but i just like the seeds

i remember someone telling me i would grow a watermelon in my belly when i was little and i was like "f that, not if it chew the shit out of these seeds!" lol

6/12/2011 8:44:49 PM

Never heard of anyone eating the seeds. And also the thought of putting sugar on it skeeves me out. It's fruit. Fruit is sweet. No sugar needed.

It's good with vinegar in stuff. I made a salad last week with watermelon, cucumber, rice vinegar and peanuts. The tart vinegar goes really well with it. Still haven't tried balsamic with it, but that is really popular.

6/12/2011 8:46:04 PM

i eat the seeds, but i just swallow them whole. don't like chewing on them.

and salt fucks it up.

i tried it with salt for the first time today, it was awful

6/12/2011 8:49:37 PM

I have seen watermelon salad made with balsamic vinegar reduction and mozzarella. it was meh.

myself? I cut that shit into 1 inch chunks and devour as much as humanly possible

seeds or no seeds. i dont' care. but don't you dare salt my melon

6/12/2011 8:51:07 PM

grapefruit is fine w/o sugar

6/12/2011 8:51:28 PM

@ AndyMac's video...

*goes to get watermelon from fridge*

6/12/2011 8:51:33 PM

i'd never really had much watermelon unless i was at a friend's house because my mom hates it and never bought it for us. i was so deprived. watermelon is amaaaaaazing! nom nom nom

yes! you do! bitch!!

6/12/2011 8:54:39 PM

If you carve a hole in the watermelon and apply some KY Jelly, it makes for an excellent substitute for vagina when your woman is withholding.

And you can enjoy a tasty snack afterwards.

i've lived in north carolina my entire life and i've never heard of bogue sound watermelons

6/12/2011 8:57:17 PM

idk, i've definitely had some that weren't hitting on much, but it's pretty rare.

You can't get them outside of Cape Carteret - Newport - Bogue, but it's considered a "North Carolina folk product" (gets a lot of media attention). The actual farms are all within a ten square mile area (there's only six now), and the local "commission" that controls official Bogue Sound Watermelons doesn't allow them to be exported to other areas. It's the agricultural equivalent of how they have commissions that determine the official production of a certain type of cheese, which can only be made in a certain area and in a certain way, et cetera.

I don't think of it as snobby... have you ever been to Bogue or Newport? Yeah. Not exactly a high brow audience.

6/12/2011 9:08:22 PM

i don't like watermelon flavored things

6/12/2011 9:09:43 PM

Netstorm, i find you funny. i would like to subscribe to your newsletter

there's nothing high brow about north carolina bbq, but this website is certainly full of nc bbq snobs (myself being one of them)

snootiness is not a requirement for snobbery

Oddly enough, we were having this conversation last night at dinner. My sister in law put salt on her watermelon and my brother was all "wtf?" so we tried it (I had heard of people doing it, never done it myself)...I didn't really like it. I do think salt on a granny smith apple is pretty good.

But, to answer the question...
cold (but it's hard to beat pulling a watermelon off the vine and eating it while it's still warm from the field), I don't discriminate against seedless or seeded melons...both are fine in my book, no salt. And if it is seeded, I do swallow the seeds.

6/12/2011 9:23:38 PM

lol

awesome

check is in the mail!

6/12/2011 9:23:40 PM

In my native country, we round up all the seedless watermelons and stomp them into pulp.

The seeded master race can be the only one.

6/12/2011 9:25:52 PM

Toasting the seeds like pumpkin seeds is delicious.

6/12/2011 9:27:55 PM

^Whoa, I have definitely never heard of that before. I might have to try that.

6/12/2011 9:38:42 PM

my mom does salt and cumin

6/12/2011 9:48:10 PM

I mean I like cumin on chicken or beef, but watermelon?

6/12/2011 9:49:22 PM

How do seedless ones work? I mean you can't like plant new ones, since there's no seeds right?

6/12/2011 9:50:06 PM

they're surgically removed
