OT What is seeded watermelon?
I went to the store the other day and saw a new mutant fruit. A pluot (or
pluout) a plum and god knows what else. -- Connie Ryman Cryman Studio www.eclecticbeadery.com "Bryan" wrote in message ... 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? Bryan "does this mean I can cut my apple with my glass cutter?" Paschke P.S. this will teach me to read a newsgroup just before bed. On Wed, 03 Sep 2003 18:09:05 -0600, nJb wrote: 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. BTW, do "pitted" prunes have pits in them? |
