Guest guest Posted July 22, 2006 Report Share Posted July 22, 2006 I don't know, it seems just a waste to just throw them away. I know my Aunts, Grandmother, and mother would pickle them (they'd either have a green color with cloves and allspice taste, or a red color with a cinnamon taste.) and me and my siblings, and our cousins around our age would always get into fights as to who took more than their fair share and why we were allowed to take more than our fair share. Hm, for some reason no one seems to be able to find that recipe anymore or remembers exactly how they were made..*acting on my part here* gee, I wonder why? Also, I thought I'd ask before I try it myself as there may be the oddly slim chance that someone has done this before, but, after eating clean a slice of melon, I, out of curioiusity decided to try a bite of the white part. Bit green and starchy, so I suppose it might do to boil it like one does to potatoes when mashing them? Perhaps cut it into smaller pieces, and would one want to leave the green skin on, or remove it? And what, if anything would one want to add to mashed melon rind? That is assuming it does mash like potatoes? I would have tried it myself that night, but well, I'm a staircase wit, I'll admit it, and I didn't start to contemplate on this, until it the rinds had already been in the trash for some hours. ~Pumott _______________ FREE pop-up blocking with the new MSN Toolbar – get it now! http://toolbar.msn.click-url.com/go/onm00200415ave/direct/01/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 22, 2006 Report Share Posted July 22, 2006 Oh my goodness! My mother worked night work at the Bureau of Engraving and Printing in the early 1900's. All the printers laughed at her because her mother packed her lunch with a sandwich which was bread with watermelon preserves. I was thinking about that today as I have a watermelon. Mother thought it was tastey. Somehow I don't. Diana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 22, 2006 Report Share Posted July 22, 2006 Another thought: Why would my mother who ate watermelon preserve sandwiches tell me not to eat too close to the rind of the melon? So many questions, so little time LOL! Diana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
