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. "Javahut" wrote in message ...

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. -- Mike Firth Hot Glass Bits Furnace Working Website http://users.ticnet.com/mikefirth/I-UPSUMM.HTM shows recently changed files, click on link "nJb" wrote in message ... 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.

They're no longer called watermelons here in Utah, but "seeded" watermelons. As if I wasn't aware they had seeds. Jack http://photos.yahoo.com/bc/xmissionbobo/ |

If you buy a box of pitted prunes, I assure you the pits have been removed, or sposta been removed. -- Jack http://photos.yahoo.com/bc/xmissionbobo/ |

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. -- Jack http://photos.yahoo.com/bc/xmissionbobo/ |

someone choked on a seed, sued successfully because it wasn't labeled to have seeds, and now the lawyers insist on warnings. next you'll see labels that state 'do not insert watermelon in ears or place on top of ladders'.
