Like you, I eat everything but seeds and rind, the latter being a big treat for the cows when we were children.Roberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00691146231054795824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8015632325142631541.post-80031677777528270592010-07-06T10:55:10.254-04:002010-07-06T10:55:10.254-04:00Funny to read this after dinner with a friend the ...Funny to read this after dinner with a friend the other night which ended with watermelon and a long story from him about his aunts and uncles regarding watermelon. They were all mountain people and watermelon was something served up on summer days and nights as a staple, not just on holidays like so many of the modern folks do now. They would buy a truck load of unripe watermelon in the beginning of the summer and keep them outside. Every night they would go out and knock on a melon until they found a ripe one, and split it open to scoop out the sweet middles ... they threw away the melon close to the rind, which I found interesting cause I like to eat it cold and down to the rind, but they liked it soupy warm and soft and sweet! He had some other watermelon stories, but i'll stop here.wolfyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16084546816050046835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8015632325142631541.post-84841152890964535302010-07-02T18:15:01.586-04:002010-07-02T18:15:01.586-04:00That's an interesting observation.

One thing about watermelon, as opposed to tomatoes and peaches, is that the store-bought ones actually seem to have improved in flavor and texture over the years.Christine H.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09786732494496282743noreply@blogger.com
