Smoked watermelon

[ajax 2637]

Fuckin' hipsters have gone too far. 

"A New York City restaurant has divided the internet after it unveiled a smoked 'ham' on the menu — which is actually made entirely out of watermelon."

That's what you do when you don't know how to smoke meat.

Smoking weed from one of those personal watermelons is awesome though

Always tender tho

I really wonder how much this restaurant is charging for a dish that has close to zero nutrition.

I know I’m going to restaurants based on nutrition. (That said this is beyond dumb)

They triple smoke to render that rind. 

[captained 57]

that sounds like it would have a horrendous consistency.  plus, it's just sweet tofurkey, right?

that said, i saw a tim love deal on grilled watermelon and did it alongside some grilled chicken and sausage, and it was pretty damn good.  1.5-2" slices, cut into wedges, grilled a few minutes to get some char.  serve topped with chili powder, kosher salt, and some lemon juice.  was a nice change to the boilerplate summer grill dinner.  had that stuff with a nice, tart gose.

Yeah, by nutrition I just meant calories. Watermelon as it is has very few calories. Brining and smoking it wont change that. If you fried it in lard I might consider it.

Grilled watermelon with feta, mint, and a balsamic glaze is the tits.  That abortion of a creation needs be destroyed....

GW Fins makes something damn close but they compress the watermelon to give it more of a firm bite and don't grill it.

Excellent.

Exactly what I expected the guy who made it to look like.

That cocksucker hated it, then plays it off. Asshole.

yep. but grill haloumi instead of feta

smoking fruit or veggies never works. its porous. it absorbs all the shitty parts of the smoke. stupid.

Then exactly what I'd expect the guy tasting that dish to look like.
