(10,885 posts)Once they're nicely ripened, I go through one a week by myself. I especially love it in salads.
My elimination? Strawberries. Used to love them, but now they're acidic tasting to me and not satisfying.

(63,221 posts)entire, huge watermelon in one sitting. I love the flavor, the texture, the color - everything about it! I would rather have it for dessert than any other sweet treat.
I would get rid of pineapple. It's ok, but I can take it or leave it.

(10,885 posts)One evening, I wanted watermelon so badly that I got out of my jammies and went to Stop & Shop at 10:30 at night to buy one. Once I get the thought of watermelon in my brain, nothing else will quench it.

This is an important factor.

If that option had been raspberries instead, I would short circuit.

(5,646 posts)Wild blueberries and wild strawberries are important forage for natures creatures.
Pineapples are just yummy and really tasty in PUDC...pineapple upside down cake. On a plus for pineapple is that they make a formidable weapon...especially if they are in a can.

(112,553 posts)I'm not a big fan of watermelon, cantaloupe, and honeydew. It was somewhat tight with blueberries though. Pineapple and strawberries are essentials though in my diet.

(3,402 posts)Theyre healthy, delicious, you dont have to do any prep work when you take them out of the container other than washing them, and my five year old will always eat them.

(10,885 posts)There's nothing like ice cold watermelon on a steamy hot day. It's so thirst-quenching and refreshing.
I'm really surprised by all the anti-watermelon sentiment.

(34,139 posts)Since it really is not very nutritious. I don't like pineapple or blueberries a huge amount, but they both have more value as food.
Strawberries can NOT go! I could eat them nearly every day. I bought about 20 pounds of them, cleaned, chopped them up, froze them and now have a buch of bags in the freezer to use for smoothies, jam, muffins, or whatever else I want to make with them.
