What is seeded watermelon?

BTW, do "pitted" prunes have pits in them?

Yup, and they are called "Plums" , I think...

And by the way, while I thought I too was a knowledgable fan of the
watermelon, an uncle of my wife was in MI from Arkansas and tells me there
are at least a dozen different kinds of watermelon, who would have thunk....

Back when I was a freshman in college, one of my friends went home for the
weekend to visit family in SE Missouri, near the Ark state line. He came
back with a watermelon that filled the entire back seat of a '56 Mercury.
Thing must have weighed 200 lbs or more.....if any of you can remember a 56
Merc...the back seat was big enough to hold a small orgy.

I am not sure where you buy your watermelon, but the Carnival Food Store
down the street and the Minyard's (same chain owners) a mile away have
watermelon with seeds any time they have watermelon. If no other place, you
might go to your nearest farmer's market.

My whole life I enjoyed the finest treat known. Watermelon. Oh boy,
watermelon. Then somebody or a group of somebody's came up with
"seedless" watermelon. A noble cause but I never tasted "seedless"
watermelon as good as the original ones, watermelons. The ones with
seeds. Maybe a few hundred more years of bio-engineering and they might
catch up. No problem.

But now I find I can no longer find my beloved watermelon. Seems I have
to choose between a "seedless" watermelon and a "seeded" watermelon. I
take it they mean watermelons with seeds. WATERMELONS ARE NOT SEEDED,
THE SEEDS WERE ALREADY IN THERE, AND THEY ARE CALLED WATERMELONS. That's
it. Watermelons. We have watermelons and we have "seedless" watermelons.
If I had my way, anyone referring to a watermelon as "seeded" would be
sentenced to a life without watermelon. They don't deserve such a fine
treat.

I feel much better.

Are they sold as watermelons or seeded watermelons? I can get
watermelons with seeds. They're no longer called watermelons here in
Utah, but "seeded" watermelons. As if I wasn't aware they had seeds.

If you buy a box of pitted prunes, I assure you the pits have been
removed, or sposta been removed.

Hmmm....seems we're starting to talk about the seedier side of life
here. First glass, now fruit! What next, vegetables? But wait! if
it has seeds, isn't it a fruit?


No. If the edible part is the seed covering, it's a fruit. Except for
squash.

I can see this thread getting out of hand. Sorry.

Speaking of ladders.
