Today, I\u2019ll feature three more. The watermelon lovers in my life are the readers of this blog, which is why I\u2019m giving away one of those six gifts as this month\u2019s prize to one commenter chosen at random (take your pick of prizes).<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-3319\" title=\"pic\" src=\"https:\/\/www.whataboutwatermelon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/pic2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"149\" height=\"298\" \/>Unlike Monday\u2019s options, today\u2019s trio of gifts are all edible. That\u2019s a good thing, too, because the best thing about a watermelon isn\u2019t how it looks or smells, but how it tastes. I gotta admit, if I had to choose between these six prizes, I\u2019m really not sure which one I\u2019d pick. Which one would you choose?<\/p>\n<p>SWEET PICKLED WATERMELON RIND (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Old-South-Sweet-Pickled-Watermelon\/dp\/B003BCRHVE\/ref=sr_1_47?s=grocery&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1352142307&amp;sr=1-47&amp;keywords=watermelon\">$12.95 on Amazon.com<\/a>) \u2013 I\u2019ve talked in the past about the joys of pickled watermelon rind, and although I\u2019ve never had it, I might choose this gift just to satisfy my curiosity. This gift includes three 10-ounce jars of \u201ctangy, delectable\u201d rind. The Amazon description notes that the rind can be \u201ccubed and wrapped in bacon for a sumptuous hors d\u2019oeurves. Wrapped in bacon?! Now you\u2019re talkin\u2019!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-3320\" title=\"pic\" src=\"https:\/\/www.whataboutwatermelon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/pic3.jpg\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.whataboutwatermelon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/pic3-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.whataboutwatermelon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/pic3.jpg 300w\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" \/>ROASTED WATERMELON SEEDS (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Good-Sense-Watermelon-Kernels-Roasted\/dp\/B005DYON8I\/ref=sr_1_44?s=grocery&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1352142307&amp;sr=1-44&amp;keywords=watermelon\">$15.30 on Amazon.com<\/a>) \u2013 If you\u2019ve never had roasted watermelon seeds, you\u2019re really missing out because they\u2019re awesome. This gift includes six 7-ounce bags of salted, roasted watermelon seeds. Amazon reviewer Jon Q gives the seeds \u201cfive stars for yumminess,\u201d which is why I might give this gift some serious consideration if I found myself choosing between this month\u2019s presents.<\/p>\n<p>PURE WATERMELON EXTRACT (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Pure-Watermelon-Extract-4-oz\/dp\/B004QXMM6W\/ref=sr_1_39?s=grocery&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1352142307&amp;sr=1-39&amp;keywords=watermelon\">$8.50 on Amazon.com<\/a>) \u2013 Remember when I said the best thing about watermelon is how it tastes? Watermelon extract takes that taste and boils it down into one four-ounce bottle of deliciousness. Like the description of this item notes, that little bottle offers \u201cfresh, ripe watermelon flavor\u201d that can be tossed in fruit salad, added to smoothies, and included in just about any recipe. I might mix it with some vanilla ice cream, but that\u2019s just me.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yesterday, I featured three gifts for the watermelon lover in your life.
