Do you love watermelons? Do you just cut up a watermelon and eat it or do you add or combine anything else to it before you eat it? When was the last time you had a good piece of watermelon?
Have a juicy National Watermelon Day 🍉

I cut in cubes because it's easier to eat. I also like to prepare a watermelon sorbet, it is delicious.

When cut in cubes, they can be eaten with a fork. That is so ladyduck like! Sorbet? How is that done?

@1hopefulman Yes, I eat with a fork. The watermelon sorbet is easy to make. You need to prepare a sugar syrup, blend the watermelon in a food processor, add the juice of half lemon, mix with the sugar syrup and place in the freezer, or in the ice cream machine until it sets.

I love watermelon. I would slice half of the big watermelon into a bit square shape (which I know is more than enough for us at the house) put it in a container, and let it stay in the freezer for more than an hour and serve it after meals. They are so delicious and refreshing!

Yes, they are so refreshing, especially the way you do it. It makes a hot day so pleasant.

I put salt on my watermelon. I've also cut it up, deseeded it and then blended it with ice and a little bit of sugar to make a nice beverage.

Salt on watermelon? I never heard of that? I guess, it gives it a different taste. I'll have to try that.

I like watermelon but I don't think I love it. I only eat watermelon when there's one in the house. Never bought one actually. I would receive them as gifts only. And I just slice them up and eat them without adding anything.

Of course, it's hard to love watermelons. They can't be hugged, they have no fur, they can't be taken for a walk and they don't kiss you!

@1hopefulman You know I wasn't talking about that kind of love. It's just not my favorite at all in the sense that I could live without it. And even if there's tons of watermelon in front of me when I'm not in the mood to eat it, I won't. But it's impossible for me to ignore grapes. Because I love grapes.

I love them. But this year I bought such bad watermelons. They aren't sweet at all. They need sugar. I can eat only a slice because I am not allowed to eat fruits and vegetables.

I like watermelons. But lately I only eat them at my daughters´ houses. In my country watermelons are sold whole. And I live alone so I wouldn´t know what to do with most of it. A few days ago, I read here that a mylotter had made watermelon jam. I could try it.

Always love them and eat it alone or with other fruits. At my last home I was able to grow lots of watermelons so much that I had to give away. I was never able to do so again. Must have been something in the soil.

I also eat them alone as find that they digest quite fast and in an hour I have other foods. That's interesting about the soil. Was it is the same town or in a different town?
