I saw one in the supermarket, thought it looked gorgeous and bought it for about £2.

I cut it open and was similarly impressed by the look of the thing, but was disappointed by the relative tastelessness of it. It’s rather like very bland cucumber. The texture is different though, the pulp is very wet and uniform, the little seeds slightly crunchy, giving it an almost gritty texture.

You cut it in half and scoop out the pulp and seeds with a spoon. You eat the pulp and seeds all in one. I don’t know what else you would eat it with. Perhaps you could use a melon ball scooper and make little pulpy balls for decoration on something?

I guess it’s thirst quenching if anything, but was certainly not worth the price I paid.

I’d eat one if it was given to me, but I won’t bother buying another one.

Shame.
