I love watermelon. My whole family does and that is why we have been eating them like crazy this summer (actually, the summer has just started TODAY). There is a definite difference in the way each family member eats this luscious fruit. As a demonstration I took a picture of my final product and my husband’s final product:
Which one do you think is mine and which one is my husband’s? You can tell right away what poor, formerly-socialist-soul was gnawing on what piece ??;0)
CZ: Ahoj, tak jsme si s manzelem nedavno pochutnavali na vybornem melounu. Uhadnete, ktery talir je muj? Rozhodne se hned pozna, kdo vyrostl ve stradajicim socialistickem Ceskoslovensku ;0)

You failed to mention that you then ground them into a ‘Watermelon Rind’ smoothie which is famous czech tradition right?
Yes! And leftover smoothies are put in the freezer until Christmas comes and then I add the mush into my christmas cookies and into Carp soup. mnam mnam!! 😉
what a waste there on the left !!! No, I’m serious!
🙂
This test works! I’m most definitely Czech, and my wife’s most definitely American! :))
Test funguje! Jsem zarucene Cech, a zena je zarucene Americanka… :))
Looks like the plates in my family. I see your husband does not like the seeds either. 🙂 It did not take my children long to learn the RIGHT way to eat watermelons either. Though the rest of the family tried really hard to teach them the wrong way. :):) What can I say, I have smart kids.
Oh, yes and I forgot to mention that – OF COURSE – I had to finish up whatever meat was left on that puppy!!!
Lenko, I did not even see the lonely seed left on the side. Maybe he was being ecologically-friendly and and is planning on planting that seed later today. Any thoughts on that, husband?
I cut the watermelon in half, then eat the fruit meat with a soup spoon untill the melon half looks like a clean bowl… Then I drink the rest of watermelon juice in the bowl which otherwise would come to waste 😉
Put some caraway seeds on it for the love of God!!!
since we crossed into adding things … 🙂 Load it up with Rum or Vodka or whatever the poison of your choice. After in couple of hours in refrigerator … Enjoy. Refrain from operating heavy machinery.
Yeah i have the same issue with my husband (who is also american). Also, he always leaves something little on his plate but not me. I even lick the plate sumtime,lol :))
Haha! caraway seeds! yes! and some paprika and parsley – that’s a must.
My problem is getting my teeth up to the rind to eat all the watermelon. To me it is depends the way you slice the watermelon.
Did you know that the inside white part of the watermelon rind has the most nutrition? The Czechs are so smart(:
Mariko, are you serious? Really?? Then I will dig with my teeth even deeper next time I eat it!!
Haha, that’s awesome. I am totally with you on cleaning up the rind. But where is the bacon? Just kidding – but that was the impression of my friend who visited Slovakia recently, that anything Slovak (or Czech) must have bacon in it.
Yes Tanja, I am serious this time.
This isn’t an American vs. Czech thing. In my family we all ate the watermelon right down to the rind like Czechs supposedly do. When I looked at those rinds with half the fruit left on them, I immediately assumed that the person who left them was one of those wimps whose mommy cut the crusts off his peanut butter sandwiches when he was a kid. Probably doesn’t eat the pizza crust either.
The only real way to tell which watermelon was eaten by a Czech is to look for traces of ketchup on it.
Ne, to nemá s národností nic společného. Záleží, jak jste vychováni.
Na ciste melounove kurce nevidim nic nevychovaneho, ta kutka se totiz vyhodi do kose … ale ciste vylizany talir rozhodne k “bon tonu” nepatri…
I kdyz se musim priznat, ale nedavno jsem si tak pochutnal na gulasi v jedne restauraci, ze jsem chtel ten talir vylizat, ale jelikoz manzelka me pod stolem kopala (myslela, ze me kope do nohy), tak jsem ten talir slusne vytrel certsve vypecenym chlebem….
Kdyz prisla servirka sbirat talire, tak manzelka ji stydlive vysvetlovala, ze ten talir neni vylizany, ale peclive chlebem vytreny ..
