Brain Food

Spine-tingling!!

Any melon head would like this!


Ingredients:
Makes 1 edible cranium

  • 1 small seedless watermelon - the brain
  • A picture of a brain to use as a guide

Step #1: Determine which side you want to carve. If necessary, cut a small slice off the opposite side so the melon sets flat.

Step #2: Using a sharp knife, carefully peel most of the green outer layer away from the watermelon, exposing the white layer below. Cut away most of the white layer in a few areas to expose a light pinkish color.

Step #3: Using the brain picture as a guide, score lines on the melon with a toothpick.




Step #4: With a sharp paring knife, carefully carve the scored lines, cutting away the white layer and exposing the melon's flesh.
Step #5: Serve immediately.


For added grossness!


At serving time after your guests have had a chance to appreciate your master carving skills, begin "dissecting" the brain by cutting through the carved layer and exposing the "fleshy goodness" inside. Dig in!

It's a no-brainer!
