Does anyone know?
As some of you know, I love melons. My favorite Casaba and Crenshaw went in and out of season in what seemed like a blink of an eye, and now we are back to the usual common melons. I do love watermelon, and it's still in season! It's hit or miss though. Sometimes, as I pick one at random, it ends up being sweet, juicy, and delicious :32:. But sometimes you pay $10 for a decent sized melon and it just ends up being unripe, not flavorful and juicy, and a huge disappointment.
As far as they say about tapping the rind with your hand... what sound are we hoping to hear... a deeper more resonant tone? After slapping several of the nearby melons in the bin, I have to say they all sound the same . Visually, they all look the same too. Tonight I got lucky and picked a nice sweet one. I like to cut up bite sized pieces and freeze it for a few hours until they're a 'half frozen' texture :32:
Do share if you have any tips to picking a great watermelon!
