The flavor of watermelon is better if cooled in water instead of on
ice. To serve cut the melon in halves across and cut off pieces from
the ends so that they will stand. Serve the pulp by spoonfuls, scooped
out with a tablespoon. If convenient take the pieces out before sending
to the table, remove the seeds and return the pieces to the shell, then
keep in a cool place until serving time.
The watermelon furnishes an abundance of pure distilled water.
Watermelons that are not very sweet maybe served with almond cream and
sugar.
