Despite the fact that Africa is considered the birthplace of watermelon, the world leadership in the consumption of this tasty and he althy berry belongs to Russia. It came to our country somewhere around the 9th-10th centuries and over the past millennium it has firmly registered on our tables. Confirmation of this thesis can be seen from the second half of summer in any supermarket and in any market. There are watermelons. It is possible that this only seems because of their gigantic size. But let's be honest. What would you prefer on a hot summer day - a sweet peach or a juicy watermelon? Of course, the second. We not only cut watermelon, serving it as a dessert, we even s alt it, despite the incompatibility of the concept of s alting and the initial sweetness of this berry.
Despite the popularity of this berry, not everyone knows how to choose the right watermelon and how to cut it correctly. We will not talk about the selection criteria now, since this is a whole science. In addition, at the end of summer, and even more so at the beginning of autumn, almost all watermelons are already poured and tasty. And we'll talk about how to properly cut a watermelon.
In large families, during meals, watermelon is usually cut by the head of the family, givinghousehold neat and beautiful pieces. He can do it in several ways.
The most common way is to divide it into slices.
Two circles are cut off from the berry at the top and bottom, then it is placed and divided into folds. But since cutting a watermelon in this way, despite the seeming simplicity of the method, is not available to everyone, many people prefer to do it easier. They also cut off the top and bottom of the berry, then divide it in half lengthwise, and begin to cut it into half rings like an onion. Agree that it is much more convenient. But in this case, not all watermelon eaters will receive equivalent slices. In a watermelon, as everyone knows, the “middle” is considered the most delicious, because it is it that is the most sugary. And with this method, someone will get "tops", and someone will be forced to be content with "roots".
The same applies to the option of cutting the berries in circles on top. Therefore, it is still “fairer” to cut it with discounts. If you can't cut the watermelon evenly because the knife constantly pulls to the side, then divide it into two parts, and then into smaller pieces.
In general, if you bought not very giant berries, then you can not cut them at all. More precisely, we divide the watermelon in half and give each eater a spoon along with a half.
It can also be peeled like an apple, cut into cubes and served as a dessert, offering to use it with forks. It’s not worth talking about how to properly cut a watermelon in this way - everything is clear from the attached picture. Butfor some reason this method is not as popular with us as in the West.
Actually, to be honest, no one can say how to properly cut a watermelon, since the concept of “right” and “wrong” simply does not apply here. You are not cleaning the fish, which is supposed to start getting rid of the scales from the tail, and you are not repairing the electric switch, where it is important for you to connect the contacts together in the right sequence. And eating watermelon, like cutting it, is a matter of taste and habit.
