Watermelon is technically a mushie right?

Time2live · July 21, 2006

Soooo....Saturday I start mushies and I'm thinkin that watermelon fits that catergory. My granny eats it all the time with no teeth in...lol. I know it's a stretch but I reckon I might just chew some up and then spit it out just to taste it..(too much info)...The Soup de jour is getting a tad old.

Okay I'm done whining.

I did and it was fine.

NO seeds though. Not even those white ones in seedless.

Hmm....

Watermelon is mushy but it is really high in Fiber. I have a hard time with it unless I cut it up into tiny pieces. Otherwise it doesn't break down enough with chewing to go through my stoma. I have a much easier time with honeydew and cantaloupe, but those definitely aren't true mushy but soft solids. Good luck

I was thinking you could probably make something (using watermelon) to make it go down even smother and easier - Like Watermelon Sorbet???? <how yoummy would THAT be?????>

Tried to do a search on www.foodnetwork.com, under watermelon sorbet (only found 1 recipe under Emeril's page for Spiked Watermelon Sorbet http://www.foodnetwork.com/food/recipes/recipe/0,,FOOD_9936_30405,00.html otherwise if you do a search there, you get 144 results for sorbet <can be found here http://web.foodnetwork.com/food/web/searchResults?searchString=sorbet&site=FOOD&searchType=Recipe

Hope this gets the brain 'perculatin'

Watermelon was a soft food for me and it was fine.

According to my bandster rules... if ya gotta chew it...

IT IS NOT A MUSHIE.

The sorbet, yep, or blended up... yep. But regular watermellon has to be chewed up, and that disqualifies it as a mushie.

Just the 2 cents from my doc's program.

BTW, for those watching their sugar intake, Watermellon is a VERY HIGH glycemic fruit. Berries are usually the best choice to those watching their sugar intake.
