Can we have a watermelon appreciation thread? Anonymous Wed Jun 28 23:30:23 2017 No.9106560 [Reply] [Original]

Is there a better fruit/vegetable than watermelon?
I don't think so.

>>	Anonymous Wed Jun 28 23:31:56 2017 No.9106566 Kiwi and plums are my favorite fruit. Watermelon is very good too though.

Is it possible to grow them in moderate climate? I remember when I was a kid we grew them from normal seeds, and they were melon sized and not really tasty. But is it possible to grow them to be good? Maybe using a greenhouse (but then again they probalby wouldn't get enough sun)?

>>	Anonymous Wed Jun 28 23:38:01 2017 No.9106589 I have a blender that goes to 11 (couldn't be any more powerful on 120v 15a) so I can make whole watermelon "juice" if I don't want to mess around with eating it. Also a good way to drink my daily chia.

Ironically, I'm the whitest person I know, and I freaking love watermelon, fried chicken and grape juice.
Anyway, you can make smoothies/slushies, "lemonade", ice cream, sorbet, ice pops and some people make gazpacho from it. It's great because it has so much water, so it's great for frozen deserts.

honestly the watermelon and fried chicken thing is the dumbest stereotype. who in the fuck doesn't like watermelon, chicken, waffles and soul food?

black people really do fucking love kool-aid though. I went to a school that was probably 90% black and 9% bosnian, saw so many black kids bring just the grape kool-aid mix in a zip-loc bag, lick their fingers and use it as a fun dip sorta thing.

Fried chicken? Niggers in chicago are shooting niggers for looking at them wrong.

We litteraly have nike sneaker roberies in fucking Chicago, like every day.

If you think niggers need a reason to shoot each other, then you're a fucking sheltered snowflake white fuck and need to get out once in a while...

Chicago is quickly becoming Detroit 2.0... niggers are openly shooting each other in Ashburn & Burnside... like a 1980's gang movie.

All the white people are fleeing the city and the State of Illinois is bankrupt. Get out while you still can, senpai.

I don't understand the hype either. The only sweetness I like on chicken is from BQ sauce.
>>9106882
Here in New Orleans there's actually a restaurant called Chicken and Watermelon. I hate melon too, but the restaurant picks the "sweeter" watermelon from local places. I still hate watermelon but it does have a taste.

It definitely isn't a 'honor culture' which developed in the face of decades of racism and hatred towards niggers.
