Real Important Topic Inside
With Summer closely working its way upon us I have a very important topic to discuss.
In which way do you cut-up Watermelon ?
Myself, I slice it in half.... length wise.....Then I slice half of that length wise.
Then I slice triangular pieces from that.
Then with a paring knife I slice off the rind and place "the meat" of the watermelon in a bowl.
Also, My Watermelon as to be as cold as possible without freezing it... to it.
How about you ?

Sliced in half, lengthwise and lengthwise again and again until desired size is reached. Than if I am sober I use a knife to cut the meat out and eat it piece by piece that way, if I am drunk I just bury my face in it.

I cut a plug out of the side, and carefully lift it away. (This is best done with a seedless melon).
Next - I take a long knife and stab it into the juicy red parts inside to make channels from one end to the other and back to front.
I scoop out about one or two cups of the gooey red stuff right under the plug hole, sprinkle in lots of cinnamon and a certain amount of sugar, and then fill the cavity with 190 proof grain alcohol (Captain Morgan's works great too), then I replace the plug and put it in the refrigerator.
After four hours, I take it out and let it warm to room temperature, and check the level in the divot - and add more everclear to fill it up again.
What happens is that in warming and cooling it helps draw in the liquor.
Then it goes back in the fridge for a few hours.....
Last time I did this, the watermelon was highjacked at the end of the barbeque.
We knew who did it - because no one heard from them for three days!!!
They described themselves as having become: "Totally MELONATED"!
I christened it "Casey Rybeck's Watermelon Tactic"...
PS: You want to be sure and put the plug back in the hole so that your refrigerator does not blow up

I grew up working the watermelon fields in the Florida panhandle. The absolute best way to eat a watermelon is after you've loaded the trailer and are riding in the back, lying on top of the mountain of watermelons that you just carried, tossed or threw into the trailer, break one open and eat the heart out of it (that's the center portion that contains no seeds). They are remarkably cool inside, even on the hottest day. But, I suppose, if you MUST use a knife, then the way described by Dennis is the best.
Oh, and Florida watermelon is, far and away, the best tasting watermelon in the world!

I grew up stealing watermelons from down the road aways. I found the best way to cut one up was with a knife, and the best way to eat one was in the back of a pickup while the old fella that used to own it was runnin after us and waving his fist at us.

here's a suggestion:
Cut the watermelon in half and then take an ice cream scooper and scoop them out into *****, until you've done it to the whole half.
Put all the ***** back into the empty half and serve chilled.
Mmmm watermelon *****.
lol
I know... I'm such a girl.

from my produce manager days...
cut it in half, lengthways, between the stripes. By cutting between the stripes, you miss all the seeds, giving a nicer presentation.
I've also cut them in the shape of a basket, used a melon baller to do the insides, add canteloupe, honeydew, casaba, grapes, or whatever else you have on hand. Makes a nice centrepiece for a summertime gathering. Impresses the women too.

Now that's what I like to hear!!
I'll have to take your advice on the "cutting between the stripes".
You can add some other yummy/ pretty fruits too. Blackberrys, rasberrys and Strawberrys. Even bananas!
oh man, I'm getting hungry.

In Ontario they have Watermelon flinging contests using "catapults" and when they were done they release the kids to: " get at 'em"
