As one of the world’s biggest watermelon fans (I’ll stop short of declaring myself the biggest fan), I’m always on the lookout for new and inventive ways to enjoy my favorite fruit.
Wedges and cubes? Sure, we’ve all done that, but have you tried watermelon salsa? How about watermelon as an ingredient in a mixed drink? An article forwarded to me by a friend offers a look at “6 unique ways to eat watermelon.” I opened the link with excitement and was pleased to find that I’ve eaten watermelon in five of the six ways suggested in the article.
Among the suggested categories are alcoholic drinks, sandwiches, soups, ice cream, salsa and fried watermelon (which is the only way I haven’t sampled it).
I’m curious to learn how many of you are as adventurous as I am, so I created a poll that asks about the many different ways you’ve enjoyed watermelon. Check out the poll in the right-hand sidebar. You can select as many answers as apply.
Those 6 ways to enjoy watermelon are very interesting. I’ll settle for a hot summer day and a wedge of watermelon. Come on summer.
Very true, Ellen. The NUMBER ONE way to enjoy watermelon is on a nice, summer day. But really, ANY day of the year will do for me!
