It's the texture I can't stand. Someone said some is mealy. It's all mealy
to me. I do like watermelon flavored things but not the fruit itself.

None of my grandparents would eat the stuff but my maternal ones grew it on
their farm. It grows really well in KS. They have the extended family over
for dinner and serve up tons of it but everyone was required to eat it
outside. My dad made movies of my cousins spitting the seeds and his
favorite thing to do was play them backwards so it looked like they were
sucking the seeds up from the ground.
