Square Water Melons
A British Supermarket (undisclosed at the moment but I suspect Jamie Oliver may well be advertising them soon) has announced the introduction of square Water Melons later this year. The Brazilian growers place the fledgling fruit into clear boxes which restrict and shape the final ripe fruit. According to the (slightly biased) spokesman for the store says the square shape makes the fruit ‘easier to store and eat’. I think they will be a big hit until the novelty wears off and we all return to wondering how they get pears into bottles.
