Some of you may have seen the "thing" on the Internet where people put lemon juice on watermelon and rave on about how much better it makes the watermelon. I have to have said here before that I have never liked watermelon, and how I've been low-key bullied about it all my life.
"You don't like watermelon? You weren't raised right."
"You don't like watermelon? You just haven't had a really good one."
"Eat this watermelon. Just a little bite. I promise it'll change your mind."
Today at the grocery I bought a small bowl of pre-cut watermelon pieces and a bag of lemons and limes. There's no recipe or order of operation: you squeeze the lemon on the watermelon and you're done.
It tastes like watermelon with lemon juice on it.

What's the deal? I don't get it. And I can't even feed the leftover watermelon* to Tap, because, if you go by Internet posts, he is the only dog in the world who doesn't like it. Maybe he's commiserating.
*If reading posts had drinking games, and this one's word was " watermelon," you'd be hammered by now.

I am not a fan of watermelon either! Yes, I am picked on about it, too!
I like watermelon. I like it even better with pepper on it.
But if you don't like watermelon, I see it as just meaning there's MORE for me!!
As I've gotten older I don't seem able to eat fruit anymore. My taste buds have changed and it all seems too bitter. I just tried to eat a plum and it was like eating a Sour Patch Kid. I threw it away. Same with grapes. I can do melons, if they are ripe enough. I used to love bananas but they are like eating a lemon. I don't even like to see others eating fruit. I literally pucker up. This old age thing is really weird.
