I was having the discussion the other day about whether or not you could barbecue watermelon. Logically, it seems like something that is 92% water would essentially melt on a grill.

I was wrong.

Not only is grilled watermelon apparently fantastic, but they also deep-fried the same liquid-laden food without any issues.

Two girls at Cardinali Family Concessions eating deep fried watermelon on a stick. One girl has a nose ring and the other is wearing a peace symbol necklace. They are having a blast.

I suppose that if they can deep fry whole butter sticks and Kool-Aid as fair food, then why not watermelon, too?

In fact, it almost seems way too healthy, hmm… Must be the dieter’s carnival food instead.

    Wah, grilled watermelons? Deep-fried watermelons??? I think you just opened up a whole new side of summer for me haha. I’ll definitely have to try this!

    Do grilled watermelons essentially become caramelized?

    I guess so? I haven’t done it myself yet, but I’m told that it’s really good. I imagine it’d have to caramelize some or what’s the point, right?
