Plain for me, held over the ground with two hands, juice dripping off the elbows.

We had a "seedless" watermelon for our picnic today. It was packed with seeds, but they were all white, and easily ignored. I suspect we'll all have little plants sprouting in our bellies sometime this week. ;-)

I knew that I would be brought to telling this. My first remembrance of watermelon (I'm sure I had it much sooner) was when a family visiting and ours were outside eating & spitting seeds. A woman had a huge stomach and I suddenly saw it and inquired. My grandma said that she had swallowed a watermelon seed and was going to have a baby and everyone hollered with laughter. I said, "but I thought a stork brought them." which brought them to their knees with laughter. Dee Dee

Cold. Plain. Shoot for distance, not for accuracy.
Icy Cold. Neither salt nor pepper (although pepper is not unpleasant, it's just gilding the lily, I'd prefer it plain) Seedless....whatever little ones are there get pushed aside.
I was never allowed to spit growing up and I find it repulsive and low-class when I see people spit today. I don't even like it when baseball players spit out sunflower seed hulls. Yuck. Let's not even go into tobacco juice. Gross.
When one is outside, one spits. However, I'm not talking about in nice suburban manicured lawns, I don't know how they do it, perhaps onto paper plates? One of my hillbilly in-laws carries around a tin can and sits it on the table when he visits for his tobacco juice, spittin' and jawin'. What a sight! Dee Dee

markets here in SoCal are seedless, and to me, there is no taste.
Here in my corner of Texas, the seedless watermelons have been sweet. Last week I was in Miami, the watermelon I bought there was sweet, too. From what I hear, if they get too much rain, they lose their sweetness.

watermelon is eaten on the lawn or at least hanging over the rail of the deck. Spit for distance, none of this hand stuff.
Harder and harder to find a seeded melon though. Better taste than the new varieties.
The old fahioned watermelons mostly have better texture, firmer crisper flesh, juicier and sweeter too... the new fangled seedless pocketsized ones are sorta mushy and tastless.
And I really dispise those with tons of those tiny white seeds... can never make up my mind whether to spit or swallow... now I know what conniptions women go through. hehe

None of the above. To me, watermelon (indeed, most melons) just tastes like soap[1] with a cucumber aftertaste. It's one of those odd things that makes it clear that with some items people taste something radically different than I do.
[1] But unlike cilantro, which also tastes like soap, but in a way that is oddly appealling.

Um, you're supposed to choose young nubile melons... not those massive mammoths grown too near those cool cukes with the prickles that all they wanna do is bump, grind, and pickle their rinds.

Sort of like being color blind. :-)

Now that makes me wonder if taste perception and colorblindness are ever related. Hmm...

Nope. Not even in the sense that your mouth and your ass are related, which of course they are, intimately. Only someone whose taste buds are truly in their ass and has his smeller shoved up as many buttholes as possible whould even venture such a question.

A.C.,I've noticed you have a particularly powerful affinity for inventorying such, do you print out each and every of my posts and have them bound in fine foreskin for your family's perusal... you seem to have overlooked mentioning my fetish for pointing out the dirty douche bags, YOU, a cowardly, nameless, low IQ piece of scat... I mean [censored].
And so it should never be said that I don't ascribe to the fine points of hospitality by exhibiting timely and fair reciprosity, may the gods of terminal illness visit upon you are yours... may y'all relish yoose torturously slow and exquisitely painful demise.
