HATE watermelon. Thoroughly disgusting. And I absolutely LOVE corn. I can eat it everyday. Besides, I’m not into mixing my fruits into a salad.

Watermelon. I’m not that into corn. This was an easy one!

There is nothing like a buttery piece of corn on the cob-lightly salted. Watermelon I can do without.

@Bear, no more bacon!

@melon lovers – Wouldn’t you rather have an awesome cob of corn? With melty butter and salt? And, you know, you don’t have to lie to yourselves about corn being so much more fantastic than watermelon?

Also, never eat corn in the cob in a restaurant. Ever. You MUST buy it a farmer’s market or know when you’re grocery store is re-stocking.

CORN.

I love a good, ripe watermelon. And unless someone wants to pick the corn out of my teeth everytime I eat corn on the cob, I’m sticking with watermelon.

FYI – just had some fruit salad. Watermelon is absolutely crucial to a good fruit salad. Suck it corn.

Easy easy choice.

Even if you give up watermelon in summer, you can find good watermelons year round, though often they’ll have been shipped long distances.

Sweet corn, on the other hand, degrades quicker than a new car driving off the lot loses value.

What is the maximum distance sweet corn should ever travel? From the row behind the house into the already boiling cooking pot.

How long is the max acceptable between picking sweet corn and dropping ears into that pot? Five minutes, maybe ten. However long it takes to shuck. Shuck quickly!

Seriously. There’s no way to get good fresh sweet corn outside of its local growing season. Bye bye, watermelon.
