Watermelon is my sister's favour...Interesting. <br />Watermelon is my sister's favourite fruit. :)<br />Every Summer my gran makes watermelon preserve from the rind or "waterlemoen konfyt" as we call it here, as did my Great-Gran before her. The preserve is very sticky and sweet, but tasty. :)Rachel Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13407126595841747058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7163330007385367610.post-72827700023795525632011-05-29T21:38:21.886-04:002011-05-29T21:38:21.886-04:00Great thoughts about food.

She is American and her Husband is British. She made sweet potato casserole with marshmallows. He and Rhys had never seen that before and he was teasing her about serving dessert on the same plate as dinner. It started a discussion about how in NZ and England, pumpkin is commonly served with a roast dinner where as in the states it's most common in pie or used as a decoration. <br /><br />Anyway, I loved all your research on watermelon. Rose colored snow is the perfect description; what a clever guy.Joy Lakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14133086302308639897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7163330007385367610.post-8539283518490206202011-05-29T08:06:57.547-04:002011-05-29T08:06:57.547-04:00Thanks, Sophia and Jodi.

But 100 years ago it was a way to get a lot of nutrients in times when they were scarce.

As a child, I lived under the impression the rind was poisonous, and was afraid of eating the pink flesh too close to it. :DHana - Marmotahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03532515160608083460noreply@blogger.com
