I’m disappointed.

My mom bought me a watermelon that was cut up in tiny pieces. She wanted me to try and eat a piece to see if I liked it. I tried it just now, and I didn’t like it. I am disappointed because I really wanted to go in and like it. It tasted too sweet for me. I know if I try it multiple times, that I won’t like it. I also don’t like oranges either.

Did you put any salt on the watermelon?

Did you put any salt on the watermelon?

No I didn’t. My mom just bought it from the store. I checked on the package and it said it didn’t have it.

One of my faves is a small slice of watermelon between two potato chips like a little sandwich. So good. The crunch and salt might help.

DaisyRose, did you like the texture alright?

Another pretty good watermelon thing is Pickled Watermelon Rind. There are a lot of recipes online or you can just do any which way.

I don't really care for watermelon either. I do like other melons, cantaloupe and crenshaw and honeydew and that sort. And pineapples, and papayas, well. I suppose I could go on and on, right? But not watermelon.

The texture tasted strange to me. I hate my taste buds they are very sensitive. I guess it’s my autism that makes me sensitive to food. I try to try things in little bites to try and overcome the weird feeling of textures.

@DaisyRose , can you do smoothies with certain fruits ?
Maybe would help with the sensory issues in regards to textures?

For watermelon for me, it is part texture, and part flavor. It is too ... both sweet and watery. Diluted, but too sweet for that. *shrug* it is the only fruit like it, that I've every tried. Don't like the artificial flavor either.
.
But I will accept it on a hot day when I've been working in the sun. It is thirst quenching, and has electrolytes.

Wierd my wife puts salt on tomato her dad put put sugar on it like I do cultural thing.

Try dipping it in chocolate, that makes everything taste good.

My father's mother used to put sugar on tomatoes.
Milk on lettuce.
German thing.

This is the one part of my wife's German heritage she cannot accept. and then she married me. The bottom line is it a fruit or a vegetable, sugar fruit salt vegetable.

Do you have a favorite fruit?

Mine is bananas. Most other fruits have to go into a smoothie or a puree for oatmeal.

I do like smoothies, but I never got fruit one. I should try it in the future.
