Discussion The Art of Eating Watermelons

I am, in general, what one would call a lazy person. But really, I just don't like doing things that are meaningless/not-the-while/unfulfilling. This includes methods of eating certain foods. When I eat watermelons, I detest the process of de-seeding the slice before eating. Or even spitting it out after biting. I'd rather just eat the whole thing, seeds and all. Watermelon seeds are tasteless, so they don't hinder the taste of the watermelon. But then again, I do sometimes eat the unmoving papaya skin too, because it clings tightly to the flesh. I really hope I am not the only one.

Edit: mixed up 'things' with 'still' somehow

 

Eating watermelon: Pew! Pew! Pew!

It's fun~

Also I has become a habit for me not to eat seeds of watermelon...because my grandma use to say whenever I accidentally eat the seeds. She said that those seeds will germinate in my tummy and I will have trees in my stomach.

Childhood!

 

Bruh just swallow it dud

 

You speak of the art of eating watermelons and yet admit to devouring them like a brute... where's your finesse?

 

I think to eat the skin or the whole thing benefits you cause you'll get more nutrient

 

What about... spitting out pomegranate seeds?

 

Oh yes we all seem to go through that traumatic part of childhood.

And? I will choke on it! Eating requires chewing as well.

It seems I have failed in my task. But eating the seeds is an art as well

That is true. I have been persuaded by science like that. But fruits are perceived as sweet food, and the whole thing is usually bitter, so I thought most wouldn't resort to my methods.

 

I don't care about the nutrients; if that peel is tough and bitter, I'll have to prep it before eating it and that's such a pain. Maybe I can store it and make a dessert out of it by drowning it in sugar later, but I'm not going to start eating the peels with my fruit.

 

Depend on the Watermelon seed. If it small seed just swallow it. If it big seed, I would de-seed them.

 

So you are a patient person. I admire that. Don't you ever feel it annoying and give up halfway?

I just bite into the big ones. It's crunchy and compliments the sweetness well, imo.

 

In my experience, if you first remove the peel and cube the watermelon, you can cut the cubes into finer slices where the seeds can't stay in because they're too tiny, and would then drop to the bottom of the bowl, allowing you to mindlessly eat the watermelon with a fork

 

Ah, cubed watermelon. I remember a time when I became an expert at being able to tell which cubes were from the middle of the watermelon and would be sweeter.

 

What a wonderful idea! I will be sure to try this out, considering it would be one time work-- perfect for me.

 

They said it as well. Eating the skin of a fruits is healthier. Esp, when I'm eating apple. My sister always asked my I have to peal it, when Apple's there is more vitamins in the skin than the delicious insides.

While others said, that eating fruit skin is much healthier, but that was before.

Now, many people discourage others to eat fruit skin cause it's full of chemicals.

 

You eat the watermelon rinds?

Anyways, I always either pick out/spit out the seeds. I don't like the texture.

 

I don't. That would be too much work on my teeth... and I find it gross. But I do eat till it gets entirely white.

 

But but. My mom told me that if you swallow the seeds it'll grow in you tummy and the branches will go out of your eyes, nose, mouth and ears!

 

Shh. I'll tell you a secret. It is only when you swallow it. Make sure you bite the seeds well and nothing will happen. Your humanity will be safe.

 

Ohh I see I see! So it's okay as long as I chew it properly? Thanks for telling me!

 

i remove the seeds before eating them, it bothers me when i bite something hard when eating watermelons and i worry whether i would accidentally swallow the seeds because
