How do people come up with such absurd ideas? Are they slightly miswired?

Stupid but I can see that it might taste good.

It might be based on, or inspired by, the traditional cuisine of some culture or other. IME a lot of food tastes so much better than it looks, I’d take a little bit to try it. I’m betting the meat isn’t dry at least.

Think about how any food was initially discovered. Coffee, beer… you just have to experiment and try new things.

Looks to me like a hack to keep the chicken juicy. I fail to see how keeping the chicken moist is stupid. Do watermelon and chicken have a bad combo taste, is the your resentment because of the ‘surprise inside the watermelon’? Please explain 🙂

No? I can’t even think straight with this one.

Not the weirdest thing I have seen but… NOPE

I don’t think this is that stupid

Watermelon good. Chicken Good. It’s not hard to understand why someone might try this if you give it a couple milliseconds of thought.

Le Cruesets are expensive, I totally get this.

Its better with rejected human infants

I mean.. It’ll keep it moist and make it sweet

Why wouldn’t you just bast it with watermelon juice? Why all this

Seems like poaching with extra steps?
Personally I’d prefer a poached or roasted chicken and keep the watermelon fresh, but I absolutely hate cooked watermelon.

Some people are creative and like to experiment with things

This is unusual, but it’s well within normal cooking techniques. No idea how it turned out, presumably they reacted to more than the look of it but they don’t specify.

Slightly?

In fairness, fucking around like this is how we discovered most foods.
Someone had to decide “yeah, I’m gonna pull on the dangly things on that moo thing”
“YOU CAN TRY TO STOP ME ANGRY BUZZ THINGS, BUT I’M BREAKING INTO YOUR HOUSE”
Speaking to wheat: I’m gonna crush your seeds, mix the powder with water and beat it until it gets stretchy.

She meant that you should throw the chicken away and eat the cooked watermelon rind.

I never understand why people get shamed for trying new stuff. Most food innovation and sensations were discovered by accident or by that one weird guy who tried new stuff. Is cooking a whole chicken in a hollowed out watermelon weird? Yes. But was it worth it to try it one time and see if I was amazing? Also yes.

Looks stupid, but might taste alright. It’s not baked thought, rather cooked.

This looks like something you’d make (or in the current year tell the Slopmachine to generate) for posting to some racist Facebook page.

I think they resent the idea that people do need the life skill of being able to cook for oneself but this does step into some very concerning mental disorder to want to make things so drastically incorrectly or even harmful or wasteful in quantity and money

Warm watermelon is nauseating
EatTheBucket
It looks like a lot of carving, lifting heavy pans, and a long cooking time to heat up all the water in the watermelon. If it’s not amazing I wouldn’t be happy having done it either. Braising chicken in watermelon juice would be an easier alternative.

This really looks like a racist joke
