I love it. All summer long, we buy a half a watermelon. I quarter it, then cut it into slices. I put the slices in a big bowl in the fridge. We eat a few wedges after dinner, and I grab slices all day, lol. I love it when I get a good sweet watermelon.

Any other watermelon lovers?

mmmmm. i looooove watermelon too! it has to be cold though. i don't like it warm so i cut slices & keep them in the fridge for a couple of hours. but it really is a delicious snack. honeydew melon's good too, but definitely not as yummy. in fact, now i'm craving some watermelon. lol.

Wow, I forgot about honeydew. I worked at a restaurant once that had a large array of fresh fruit. For lunch, I'd make a plate of watermelon, honeydew, strawberries, pineapple, and whatever else they offered. I'd pass on the canteloupe, never cared for it. Honeydew is on my next grocery list. Thanks for the reminder. :)

I love watermelon too, although I haven't had any in a while. When I was little my grandad used to buy one every summer and my family would eat it in the backyard of my grandparent's house!

i like the artificial flavor in candy and such, but watermelon itself doesn't have seem to have any taste at all to me. i'm not sure why.

Some of it can be tasteless. I hate when that happens. I look for the deep red ones, but even that can be deceiving. When I luck out and get a sweet one, it tastes almost like candy, lol.

Watermelon has a lot of water in it. (Hence, WATERmelon) so maybe it's just diluted.

I've never been a fan of melons or cantaloupes, but it's nice that it is so refreshing for others. :cool:

That's how I feel. I have to really be in the mood for it to eat it.

lol yeah, if it's really red it's okay. I dunno, something about when you get to the end and it's all tasteless just grosses me outttt

I am the only person in my family that doesn't care for watermelon. We lived overseas when I was growing up and the watermelons were too expensive to purchase so I never had any until I was around 8 or so and I just don't care for it.

watermelon is lovely on a hot summer's day. it's very refreshing and an alternative to drinking water as well there is a lot of water in watermelon.

honeydew melons are good to eat once in a while, but for me anyway, i end up drinking water because it leaves me feeling thirsty afterwards. here in england, they used to sell watermelon flavoured soda beverages. they were nice to drink as well.

here in london, there are fruit and veg stores which sell half and quarter slices of watermelon for under £1 each, and whole watermelons for around £3

I love watermelon. It's so juicy, sweet, and refreshing. It's the perfect dessert to a summer barbecue. (After ice cream, of course!)

I love ANY melon...watermelon, cantaloupe, and honeydew!

There's even an event just an hour away from Cleveland called the Milan Melon Festival...I went there almost every year, I missed-out last year and I won't be surprised that I sit-out the 56th one either.

Milan is a town just a little bit southeast of Cedar Point, Thomas Edison was born there.

i love all types of fruit, but watermelon is my favourite, followed by mango. watermelons are so refreshing and quench your thirst that afterwards one wouldn't need to drink water afterwards.

The lady who does our grocery shopping bought a watermelon for us today. My husband sliced it open and saw that it was loaded with seeds. She bought us the wrong one. I can't believe all the seeds. It wasn't edible. My question is who in the world would prefer watermelon with seeds when you can buy it with no seeds? Makes no sense. :crazy:

Sorry to hear you ended up with a watermelon full of seeds. Ugh. I like the kind that is seedless.

I am sorry to hear that, Sonny. I am the same way with apples, which tend to cause my stomach to hurt. I guess I cannot digest them.


Apples are kind of boring to me! They have to just just so! Very crunchy and red. Those smaller , bright red kind. IDK what they are called, but they are the only apples I don't find mushy and boring! I CAN"T STAND green apples ! :p

I do like apple pie though! ;)

Bonniegirl
07-22-2015, 05:48 PM
Amen to the apple pie. Which I love as well. :D But apples alone, caused me major stomach discomfort. Apple pie only causes me to gain weight:lol:

Oh yeah. I know. I can't have all those extra calories! Esp. Dutch apple pie is delicious! :happyface ;)

OH Nuts!

Tomorrow's my company's picnic-they always have sliced watermelon-I'll have a small slice-watermelon's wonderful but too many carbs for me to go haywire with it..ButI do like it ALOT.

OH Nuts!
07-23-2015, 12:24 PM
Dutch Apple is delicious, but havoc on both my hips and my ass :lol:

Sigh sigh know I know..I'm grateful that 2 small bites are enough for me..never mind the weight it puts on-it wrecks havoc on my blood sugar.
