Oh how I love watermelon! I have eaten more than two watermelons in 24 hours. My tummy hurts now.

Believe it or not, here in CA we are getting the melons from Mexico. I ate half of a not that large one last night. This watermelon was very very good.

Nothing better or sweeter than those small seedless watermelons in early spring. Cut in half and grab a spoon!

I wouldn't spend a dime on anything Mexican. Why doesn't California grow watermelons?

I had to get up every two hours or so to tinkle. My tummy looks like I am pregnant right now. And it's hurting from my being gluttonous.

I always cringed a little when Gallagher would smash those watermelon. He picked on the wrong fruit... honeydew would have been the better choice.

I don't know why watermelon and fried chicken is associated with black people. White people probably eat more than they do.

Maybe down south, but blacks probably eat those two more up here.

I'd say it's a tie in PA. Actually, it's pretty bizarre to associate watermelon and fried chicken with blacks. It's not like they brought it with them when their ancestors "immigrated" to this country.

I like wings but overall it's hard to get good southern cooking up here. You have more opportunities in the city.

African Round Ball sucks though.

Have you ever been in a black neighborhood and seen all the "Chicken and Ribs" or "Pizza and Chicken" type places? Oh wait...you're a white progressive. Never mind. :wink:

Watermelons are the most predominantly grown melon in the United States, and California is the third-largest producer, after Florida and Georgia.

But they probably aren't producing as much as usual because of global, er... drought conditions.

At the store I shop at, seldom do I see a negro. I see asians though. $2.99 for a melon weighing maybe 20 pounds is a good deal.

Today the melons will cost twice what they were on sale for yesterday.

Still $2.99 Check those prices Perianne and tell me what you think. This is a discount store.

You leave the rind on and throw it on the grill, or you put it on a kebab stick. The sugars in the watermelon caramelize. It's awesome.

I was shocked the price today is the same as yesterday. I picked 2 up yesterday. They might be from Mexico but they still are very sweet. I don't normally eat that much of a melon but was hungry for melon yesterday. Today I finish off the other half.

We have Sams here too but i don't know about their melon prices. We also have COSTCO but Smart and Final is awesome and no membership needed. It used to be a free membership store but they got rid of the cards.

Something bad here. CA forces them to sell us plastic bags for 20 cents each. I have tons of the bags and other fabric bags so don't need to buy bags. CA is nuts.

Shaping up to be a very good year for watermelons. Had a big slice for lunch, sweet and juicy as hell. From Texas. I won't eat Mexican watermelons ir any other produce, health and food safety standards are all nut non-existent down there. I want no human feces with my fruit and veggies, thank you very much!

I don't care for watermelon. My fruit of choice is strawberries. Summertime means strawberries in my sweet tea and strawberry Dr. Pepper!

My dad and I are taking a trip down to the local produce stand on Monday to get all our fruits and veggies. All home-grown locally, so no GMOs and Monsanto can go fuck themselves!

Blueberries on my ice cream (when i have ice cream), frozen blueberries and cream for dessert, ... list goes on.
We just picked up some strawberries, cherries and blueberries this week. They are all great! Especially the... strawberries. (Bet you thought i'd say blueberries :grin:)
