Monday, January 08, 2007Watermelon! David Livingstone, an explorer of Africa, described watermelon as abundant in the Kalahari Desert, where it is believed to have originated. There, the ancestral melon grows wild and is known as the Tsamma melon. Here are some quotes about the famously delicious fruit:"Watermelon -- it's a good fruit. You eat, you drink, you wash your face." -Enrico Caruso "The true Southern watermelon is a boon apart, and not to be mentioned with commoner things. It is chief of this world's luxuries, king by the grace of God over all the fruits of the earth. When one has tasted it, he knows what the angels eat. It was not a Southern watermelon that Eve took; we know it because she repented." -Mark Twain “Two watermelons cannot be held under one arm” -Turkish Proverb
