Chef's recipe for WATERMELON pizza - which tops a slice of grilled fruit with BBQ sauce, melted cheese, and chorizo - horrifies TikTok users (happy juneteenth)
daily mail ^

Pineapple pizza has long been a divisive dish, but one TikToker seems to have found a way to bring together the pro-fruit topping and anti-fruit topping crowds with his recipe for watermelon pizza.

Oliver Paterson shared the instructional video on the app last week, breaking down how to make pizza using a slice of grilled watermelon for the 'crust.'

His clip has gone viral, with 2.5 million views and counting — but commenters are pretty united in panning the dish, calling it a 'war crime' and accusing Oliver of being 'possessed.'

Watermelon should be “cooked” one way only: with a meat injector and vodka.

Is it gluten-free?

Personally I find the idea bizarre but haven’t tried it so I can’t say much more. I imagine a lot depends on how great a watermelon you get. Some watermelons are absolutely delicious and sweet. Some are bland as water. I am not sure which would be better in this case.

I did have a Pastrami Sandwich pizza once. Pizza pie, cheese, tomato sauce, pastrami and mustard. In theory it’s just an open face pastrami sandwich. It wasn’t bad, but I had trouble wrapping my head around mustard on a pizza.

Have had grilled watermelon with a bit of salt. It was not awful.

I’d try it. I might smoke the watermelon for a while before grilling it. I love smoked pineapple, and also pineapple on pizza.

As a kid, I grew watermelons one year on the lot next door. They were round about the size of volleyballs. They had a fairly dense texture, sweet taste, and were the perfect size for 4 brothers to eat one quarter each for a 10am snack. You didn’t want them at 3:00 pm because they were too warm then. ( This was in Longwood Fl, just north of orlando). Word got out and protecting the patch from poachers became a summer game, a whamo sling shot and dirt clods would scare off kids from the other blocks, friends were welcome to take any not marked with an X on them. Those were the ones we had picked out for weekend beach runs to New Smyrna Beach where dad would surf fish while we body surfed. 2-3 watermelons, canned drinks, and lots of ice in the big Coleman cooler. the station wagon was packed with 2-3 beach umbrellas, canvas floats, the big cooler, and the slightly smaller cooler for dads beer. Sandwiches PBJ, ham, turkey, tuna in the Tupperware in the cooler. boxes of cookies, a can of Charlies chips. we would leave in the early am and stay till 5 o’clock to be home in time for Disney and Ed Sullivan. We never thought of watermelon pizza, but we would have at least tried it. The good old days.

NAAH!

Sausage, pepperoni, extra cheese, crispy crust, is all you need for a REAL pizza!

We used to call it a plugged watermelon.

We’d cut a tapered triangle plug, 2” per side at the top; pull the plug and just empty the vodka bottle(s) into the melon; replace the plug and cover melon with ice in a large cooler.
