This is the proper etiquette for bringing watermelons to parties and
cookouts.

1) Don’t bring one. If your host thought it would be good to have a
watermelon they would have bought one themselves.

2) If you do bring one, cut it yourself. Don’t just bring it and leave
it somewhere, expecting the host to think about it , find a knife and
cutting board, and serve it. It won’t happen and no one will remember
about it until they’re cleaning up and find it after the party is over.

3) If you bring one and it doesn’t get served, take it home. Don’t
expect your host to have to deal with largest possible food item as a
leftover.

And if you bring it, bring it COLD. Show some respect.

By the way, having raised 4 voracious teenagers, I have learned to cut
watermelon up very quickly (seedless).

1. cut it in half
2. take a half and plop the cut side down on the board. Cut the top off parallel
to the board, exposing red flesh.
3. Quickly make big cuts around the edge, removing all the rind.
4. Chop the now rindless melon half into chunks of the desired size.
5. repeat for other half.

Same with jackfruit, only moreso.

It would be better if you could find a regular seeded melon. The seedless
are lacking in flavor. Spitting seeds is half the fun for teenagers too.

Oooh, good one.

1) Don’t bring one. If your host thought it would be good to have a
watermelon they would have bought one themselves.

2) If you do bring one, bring it COLD. And cut it yourself. Don’t just
bring it and leave
it somewhere, expecting the host to think about it , find a knife and
cutting board, and serve it. It won’t happen and no one will remember
about it until they’re cleaning up and find it after the party is over.

3) If you bring one and it doesn’t get served, take it home. Don’t
expect your host to have to deal with largest possible food item as a
leftover.

Or bring one that has had a few days or weeks to properly soak up a
fifth of vodka.

And if you foil it well, you won't have to listen to those irritating

FWIW, we've had parties where some invited guests would 'surprise' us
with a watermelon. While it was a thoughtful gift, the comments about
bringing it cold and particularly disposing of it are sure correct.
While I would probably not take one to a party unsolicited;

DO THE CARVING AT HOME and bring just the chunks in a chilled bowl.

If not, then

1) Bring along heavy duty plastic garbage bags to hold the rind
2) Offer on taking the bags home with you after the party
3) Cut the watermellon up yourself and CLEAN UP afterward

Like others, I've found it a bit irksome when a watermelon or other
large melon shows up at a party. Inevitably, the juice gets all over
the counter and floor, flies are attracted and the rind ends up in the
trash to draw more flies and ants.

But watermelon is "outside" food. The rind ends up on the compost pile.
Never had a problem with them at an outdoor shindig.

Great topic, I have made some small changes as a suggestion.

This is the proper etiquette for bringing watermelons to parties and
cookouts.
1) Don’t bring one. If your host thought it would be good to have a
watermelon they would have bought one themselves.
2) Don’t bring one. If your host thought it would be good to have a
watermelon they would have bought one themselves.
3) Don’t bring one. If your host thought it would be good to have a
watermelon they would have bought one themselves.

Sure. I wouldn't hesitate a bit, although I feel why it would give you
pause. Your neighbors have a good relationship with you. You've shared other
things with them. I doubt that they would even have a thought about any
hidden motivation for sharing a good watermelon.

It would be OK provided you also bring a bucket of fried chicken too!

JUST KIDDING!

I once managed a group of 10 people, 7 of which were black. I had the
group over to the house for a party and I q'ed ribs not thinking that
it could be considered a racist kinda thing.

And DUH, I also served watermelon.

Not one complaint. These people knew me. Hell, they praised my ribs! I
had hand picked all of them for my team. The only guy who couldn't eat
the ribs was black. He had changed religions and could not eat pork. I
grilled him a big fat burger!

These people should KNOW you by now. Take over the Mellon.

PS.....do NOT hang your laundry out to dry the day you take over the
Mellon. If a white bed sheet falls off the line and blows onto you as
they answer the door there will be NO explaining it!

After all those years, I'm sure they know you. Share, and don't worry about
any racial "slur" by offering them good food. I had a black neighbor once
and when we had them over with some other neighbors, I served what I wanted
to serve- ribs, potato salad and watermelon. When they had us over for
dinner, they had fried chicken.

You're being far too sensitive and worried about a non-issue.

We have a Muslim neighbor and when they come over for a cookout, I just
either cook a brisket or have something else that they can eat if I'm
serving pork. Unlike Kosher cooking, the Muslims aren't worried about the
products coming from separate kitchens etc., but if I'm smoking a brisket
and butt at the same time, I put the butt on a lower shelf so there's no
drippings on the brisket.
