11. I love watermelon

It's so sweet and juicy. Then the old-fashioned kind has lots of seeds that you can spit out. My siblings and I used to have watermelon seed spitting contests.

Well, to each his own.

17. Didn't say they had to hate watermellon...

[TZ]

35. I'm going to eat some watermelon before I go to Rush's concert in August

So PFFFFT....

[jobycom]

39. It's just possible that will make you not like Rush.

Good taste might overcome you.

Funny story you won't like but might appreciate. The other day some new song off some upcoming album by Rush came on the radio, and just for you, I made myself listen to it. Sounded like what I remember--like they were trying to be cool instead of making music--so I wasn't much into it. My daughter came in the room after the song started, and after a while she said "What is that crap?" When I asked why she didn't like it, she said "It's like some high schoolers pretending to be cool. Sounds like Rush." :rofl: I love that kid!

She's the musical prodigy in the family and is in love with classic rock and all things rock. So it isn't just me, although it could be genetic.

[Iggo]

[Zorra]

22. That's unique. Never heard of anyone that didn't like watermelon. nt.

[Mugu]

23. I don't hate watermelon,

but I don't care much for it either.

I guess the seeds are almost as big of negative as the taste and texture are positive.

[DLine]

25. What is there not to like about watermelon?

There is nothing about cool fresh watermelons taste that I could imagine would make anyone not like it.

[supernova]

27. All the more for me! And rind pickles too!

Mwahahahahaha!

[struggle4progress]

29. Well, next time you buy one, just leave on the table here in Teh Lounge

Somebody here will eat it raw

Maybe you like haggis? There's still some in the back of Teh Lounge refrigerator, left over from our November 2004 election watch party. At least, I think it's haggis

[LynneSin]

31. If I'm going to buy food for the lounge it'll be something I can enjoy with the lounge - like beer

:woohoo:

[struggle4progress]

40. Hmm. I guess that's probably OK

:D

[Kali]

32. what about watermelon flavored jolly ranchers or starbursts?

:9

yeah if it was the last "food" you would pretty much be screwed since as its name implies, it's just water with a bit of flavor and some seeds.:rofl:

a good one can be wonderful, though. I have a great summer memory of the best tasting watermelon of my life. Coming back from a roping (amatuer rodeo-type event) with my grandfather one time after a summer storm. A wash we had to cross to get home was flowing high and there were several vehicles sitting around waiting for it to go down. This is not the inconvenience many would think. Out here in those days (and to some extent still) it is a chance to celebrate the rain and visit with some neighbors. One of the vehicles was a big truck with a tarp over it's cargo area - yes full of watermelons. Don't remember if somebody bought one or if the owner just gave some away (probably) but we enjoyed those melons and fed the rinds to the horses back in the trailer. Heaven!

[Sebastian Doyle]

52. Jolly Ranchers used to be great Not so much these days

Another casualty of the MonSatan corn poison. :evilfrown:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

36. I'm with you, my dear LynneSin!

Unless it's seedless, but even those aren't any good. The flavor is blah!

[pitohui]

37. more for the rest of us then EOM

.

[Seneca]

38. I never could stand watermelon

Taste, texture, any aspect of it.

There is no need for people to take that personally, however.

[ChoralScholar]

45. I enjoy it myself, but it kinda seems like a whole-bunch-of-nothing while I'm eating it.

[mohinoaklawnillinois]

47. Hey Lynne. add me to the list as well.

I have never liked watermelon. Even when I was a kid, all my friends just loved it, but I didn't like the taste or the mouth feel of it.

I remember parents of my friends telling my mother I was a picky eater, because I wouldn't eat it. It was like a mortal sin, hating watermelon.

[Beetwasher]

48. Watermelon Is Ok, But Perfectly Ripe Honey Dew's Are Nature's Perfect Food

And anyone who disagrees is an idiot. :evilgrin:

[LWolf]

49. I love it.

Including crunching the seeds.

[Lindsey]

50. God I love it. In fact, it's mt favorite, n/t

[smirkymonkey]

53. Same here - I love the taste, texture, color - everything about it.

And it just reminds me of summer and picnics and all good things. I don't like really sweet sweets, so Watermelon is probably my favorite desert.

[tilsammans]

51. Agree!

The taste is okay, but the texture is icky. :puke:
