I don't know about mustard, but tajin on watermelon is pretty damn delicious.
I love tajin. It's great on cucumber with salt and lime juice too
Don't forget the chamoy and lime
There's something weird going on with tajin. I like the basic idea of it, salt, chilli powder, some cayenne for heat, pepper, garlic, onion, maybe some lime/lemon. But there is something extra in tajin that doesn't mix well with my taste buds.
Could be brand based. Some have more loose plastic/arsenic/rat feces than others.
I love when my food has extra arsenic personally.
So, ditto. Something is different about the pre packaged "tajin".
Like all things on TikTok, this “trend” is worth actively ignoring.
I uhh.... I like mustard.... I don't want to try this.
Mustard has a time and a place. This isn't it.
Watermelon has such a subtle taste that I'm pretty sure that you're not going to taste the watermelon over the mustard.
.... Might as well be eating soggy bread or something.
It would be similar to adding mustard to cucumbers I guess. Adding a new texture to mustard, trying not to mix flavors
Nah fam, cucumbers ain't sweet like a watermelon. I can especially see how one would eat pickles with mustard.
Well pickles and cucumbers are not the same. Pickles and mustard go very well together (see: Hotdog) I am talking about the classic, salad type cucumber
How is this a hate crime?
Are watermelon defilers now a protected class?
#protectwatermellonrights
I didn't expect putting watermelon on a grill to work either... fuck it... worse case scenario I take a bite and it tastes like ass. Not the end of the world.
I'd try it.
That's a lotta words to say you'd eat ass? No judgement, just own it.
But would that make it a worse case scenario?
Is it a hate crime if it's performed out of love? Love for watermelon?
"I attacked them out of love for the white race"
I bet someone has tried to argue that hah
Watermelon cubes work great as a juicy summer salad. If it goes Well with vinaigrette why not mustard?
I was told cucumber with sugar and cinnamon tasted like watermelon. It doesn't.
The question is can I feed my cat a strict diet of mustard-melon?
mustard is just spicy vinegar
Is this similar to the sweet chilli on watermelon thing that's been going around lately?
I bet its good 🍉
I don't think it's that far fetched. Pickled watermelon is delicious, melon with prosciutto is delicious. Sweet, salty, and vinegar are an age old combination.
Michael Scott : I am a victim of a hate crime. Stanley knows what I'm talking about.
Stanley : That's not what a hate crime is.
Michael Scott : Well, I hated it, a lot, okay.
I'm allergic to watermelon, so I can't taste it, it just tastes like burning, but it's this a really horrifying taste combo?
It sounds weird, but I can imagine it working. Sometimes sweet fruit and mild salt can combine well. And mustard is kind of salt like.
The Asian guys schtik on tik tok is to eat disgusting shit and pretend it’s good. He mixes in normal stuff so you never know when one is stupid or not.
Lemmy users are honestly some of the most troubled and scary people in our society, seriously keep a mental count of how many weirdly violent posts you see on here it's actually unhinged.
And yes I understand this is a joke but my point is someone who sees this joke and reposts it is weird in a troubling way.
