I just love watermelon. I eat some everyday. It's so nice cold, watery, and sweet.
I also like other mellons, having many different kind over seas. My husband would bring me different ones everyday on his way home from work. The house keepers which I became friends with brought me things everyday to eat. They thought I didn't eat enough and go out enough. But I loved the fruits, even what they call stinky fruit. And the mellons of all kinds. I think there was only one that I didn't care much for. I don't remember the name of it. I was in Taiwan at the time.
My husband worked there for many years.
Do you like fruit and mellons?

Hello moon dancer. I also love to eat watermelon very much, especially in this hot summer. Just this afternoon, I bought two big watermelons and just now I cut one of them into half and place them into the refrigerator. I love to it when it is nice and cool. I think that watermelon is a very fruit that helps us not to feel thirsty in hot summer. My wife, my son and I love it.

I totally agree. I just bought 2 more yesterday myself. The grandchildren, my boys, and me all go through one a day (in 24 hours). My boys, the furry one just love watermelon too. It is very watery and sure helps flush out the bladder, lol. I like them cold or room temp, but cold is best. Putting them in the frig brings out the sweetness more.

I don't really care so much for watermelon but I love canalope. That one is my fav. the rest are either yucky to me or just okay. I love fruits though. Strawberries are my fav.

Good day.. I absolutely love those fruits and wouldn't mind eating them everyday. They're delicious specially when serve cold. They're juicy and just the right sweetness. I want to taste variety of them, with ice and milk or in shake and smoothies. I just love them.

Yes, I love watermelon and I have one in the refrigerator right now! I also like cantaloupe and honeydew melons. I think though that watermelon is my favorite. My husband hates all kinds of melons and my kids half of them like them and the other half hate them. Melons are very good for you.
I think I saw someone on television eating a fruit that he said was called stinky fruit. You said you ate that - what does it taste like? Why do they call it stinky fruit. Does it taste stinky when you eat it?
Just curious. Thanks!

stinky fruit, I don't now why they call it that. It looks kind of funny. But taste better than cantelope if that's possible. They are sweet and oh so good. At least I thought so.

I don't care much for watermelon it has no taste to it you have to load it with salt to be able to eat it, it is mostly water. I do like cantaloupe if is has a really sweet taste to it though.

I have found that most watermelon has a sweet good taste. I have had it with and without salt. The same for others. If it is put in the frig before eating it brings out the taste more.

Yes I do like them. As a matter of fact I have one right now. I'm not sure if it is still good or not though. I have had it for awhile. I think they are very good for you and taste delcious too. I have recently heard that if you eat watermelon rind it is the same as taking viagra. It is very hard to eat the rind though. I dont know how easy it would be to digest.

wow, I've not heard that about the rinds. I'm sure some men would be happy that it's that simple, lol. I don't know about eating it though it's a bit sour. Funny how something sour can help you to make sweet love. lol

I think they are okay, but sometimes too sweet. They are really good in a fruit salad though or on a hot summer day at a picnic.
My kids though really like watermelon, they eat it until we tell them they can't have anymore because they will get sick!

If you refrigerate them for some reason they get sweeter. I have discovered this by eating them both ways. I had a melon, just got home with it and got some. It was not cold the rest I put in the frig. The first that I got was not sweet at all. It made me wonder about eating the rest, if I really wanted to or not. Then when I tried it from the frig it was a nice sweet taste, much different from the same melon when it was warm.

that's funny cause I throw out the juice left in the bottom of the bowl. There is so much of it I've thought about drinking it and I do love the watermelon so I thought the juice must be good too.

yeah melons and watermelons make a good fruit for summer months.
first they are full of water and provide a feeling of fulfillment. secondly being light are easily digested.. particularly we start our sundays and other holidays in summer with watermelons and the melon will be something after lunch fruit..what are the other kind i am not aware .

I know just what you mean. I eat them all throughout the day and night. I just love them. There are mush mellon, honey dew, cantelope just to name the ones right off hand that I can think of.
Also they help to digest your food when eatten after a meal.

Yes. I like watermelon too. They are cheap and easily available sold along the roadside on my way home. Once I reach home I will cut it into pieces and put them in the fridge before serving. The watery juices can quench our thirst on hot day. Sometimes I make watermelon juice but I have to add in some sugar and serve with ice cube. The only disadvantage with watermelon, we can keep it long in the fridge.

Thank you for posting. I don't know how long it will keep in the frig. I never have it longer than a day or two. I wrap it up to keep in the freshness and cut off pieces as needed. I have never crushed it for juice or anything.

Dear friend,
I usually have watermelon mostly during summers and that is season here for watermelon and also it is made as a juice during summer mostly. Even on the road sides there could be seen watermelons during summers in South India. Moreover I had one day completely consumed only watermelon and apple when I had attended a camp in jungle.

That's the way it is here in the US, you'll see vendors selling all kinds of fruit and vegetables...including water melon.
At camp at least by eating watermelon you had water. I can't say much for other nutrients though.

Watermelon is a great, good tasting source for getting water and it has no calories. I have not had shakes or fruit drinks from it, just icy drinks and the melon it self. I eat a lot of melon. It's also good for the digestion.

I love watermelon. I don't buy it often because it weighs so much. Even half a small one is hard for me to lift. I love all fruits. So good mmmmm. What is stinky fruit? Guava? A lot of people think it stinks so they won't eat it. Fine, more for me.

I don't know Pisces. Thank you for the suggestion it may help. I saw a guy on the travel channel that eats things everywhere and he called it stinky fruit. If I remember right it did smell badly but was oh so good.
