Have you seen this watermelon Ham? It is a watermelon smoked to look like meat and it is being sold at Duck’s Eatery in New York City.

Thanks for helping me eat this!
The watermelon is brined then smoked in a very similar way that you would smoke any other type of meat except this is vegetarian. Food Insider made a video on this amazing Smoked watermelon ham and I had to try to make a recipe off of the information given!
Lets see how well I make the Smoked Watermelon Ham Recipe!!
You don’t get any more unique than this thing!

[@guinnesstheshep]

sosimplyshelley I wouldn’t say they “Ripped off” this guy’s video if he (at the very beginning of the video) said “So have you seen the smoked smoked watermelon thats been (ALL) over the internet?”. In no way did BuzzFeed steal any content, if anything they followed a public idea under fair use. Multiple people have re-created this video idea, and this guy is also one of them! By this logic, everyone creating a video off this would actually be stealing from William at DucksEatery, not this man. Now I’m not in agreement with a lot of the tactics BuzzFeed uses for views. And in no way am I slandering Sauce Stache, this man is awesome! I just don’t think its a good idea to misrepresent how public content/ideas and fair use of said content works.

[@JerryKillian]

I found your video by blind luck, and I LOVED it! I have been smoking meats since about 1995. (At my age, we usually put an AND in between the digits - 19 and 95). Anyway, my first smoke was a brisket, which I marinated, not rubbed. I made the marinade on the fly, and while the brisket was cooking, I reduced, filtered, reduced, and filtered the marinade until I had a somewhat thick sauce which I would dip the brisket chunks in when we ate it. To coin a phrase by my best friend when he helped me totally devour that brisket, this sauce was "Foot-Stompin' Deelishush!" It was somehow the perfect blend of spicy, sweet, and smokey. People offered me money for the recipe, (never got it) and would always demand I bring some when they throw their barbecues. There was often watermelon at these parties, (TEXAS!) People would absolutely freak out when they saw me dip watermelon in my sauce. Hey, it was good! NOW, I plan to cook this and show everyone that I was way ahead of my time back in them 90's. Thanks for the video. One last question, with or without vodka? Imagine a spiked, smoked version.

The way to calculate the price of food in a restaurant: cost of ingredients, cost of transformation (the salary of the persons doing it {the more something requires precision the better the chef doing it is payed}), restaurant cost (cost of electricity, gas, salary of waiting staff, accounting...) and finaly the profit. So you're saying it cost 20$ in raw materials and took 6hr+ to do... Yeah 70-80$ seems about right.

@@shelbyb9965 Haha! You have turned my imagination into reality ! You must be my 'dreamgirl' ! Don't mind, just kidding. Where are you from Annie ? I am from Kolkata India. Have a fantastic joyous day and don't refrain from such experiments. Stay safe and have fun !

[@19Ter67]

Absolutely incredible!! 😲 It came out so well & really looks like a ham!! 👍 Good job!! 👏

[@SauceStache]

Thank you so much!!! It was a fun one to make

[@jasonderr8156]

Ok, just made the smoked cantaloupe burger! IT IS SO GOOD. Does not taste like meat. Tastes like it's own wonderfulness.

[@Adam_Garratt]

Never would I have imagined smoking a watermelon. It looked great at the end though, like you said it was like rare roast beef in appearance. My brain is trying to process how it might taste haha. Also...rosemary is $5!!! WHHUT! you can get a bunch of rosemary here for like 80p

[@SauceStache]

It’s such a unique flavor, can’t even accurately describe it. But yes hahah $4.99 Rosemary

[@someone4650]

Damn i’d never pay that much, rosemary should NOT be that expensive! It grows so big and fast! Someone ripped you off big time!

[@smoke-bo2cf]

Me: mom could we get a vsauce Mom: we have a vsauce at home Vsauce at home:

[@Cornerstanding]

Would you recommend eating it cold? Could you chill it or pickle it to preserve it after cooking???

[@prepper_nation_h]

I'm not sure that olive oil and rosemary would be my choice for a baste even on an actual ham. I'm thinking maybe I would go for a brown butter honey bourbon glaze or something similar.

[@Vacilando22]

I love this. I love watermelon and LOVE smoked anything. My mouth was watering for the whole video and bet its amazing. Can't wait to try with my fam.

[@FabianRWhite]

You are so enjoyable to watch. When you laughed around 6:30 and talked about being excited, that was wholesome.

[@RitzyBusiness]

Sounds like when you cook pineapple, gives it a sweet savory flavor thats really good. Would probably be better cut up into smaller slices. Its not a meat replacement, it can be a legitimate food enhancer.

[@liamvogel4931]

“I don’t think it could be a meat replacement, but it could be an experience” I’m gonna say that next time I fail at making something soy protein based

[@787310]

Quit eating soy you beta male

[@sum124get2]

I ate it once, as part of a dish in a fancy restaurant. Not being a meat replacement but as something unique. I liked it! Being smokey and all. Would like to make this sometime as we eat as much plant based food as we can but still like barbecueing. It’s actually kinda hard to find things to barbecue wich you can put some time and effort in and is not meat. So thanks!

[@mikem4398]

I've been tempted to try and make this since I read an article about the restaurant that made this. I'm a hardcore carnivore but also love finding new things to smoke. After watching this I don't plan on making this anytime soon. Thanks for the upload it was very helpful.

[@hh-zr5qp]

underrated channel, subscribed

[@SauceStache]

Thank you so much!! You're sawesome

[@melyborbon]

That looks so good! $75 if described as only watermelon it sounds crazy but in restaurants you have to keep your food cost under 30% so knowing that $75 it’s not that crazy. It’s actually pretty accurate.

[@SauceStache]

Well thank you for the break down!! After tasting it though I wouldn't pay $75 for that thing hahah

[@melyborbon]

Hahahaha, can’t blame you!

[@latina1700]

Awesome! I’m so glad I found you! And so many negative comments! Who cares keep on! Loving the science behind all of this!

Just looking at it, and knowing it's watermelon, I want to drizzle a balsamic glaze on it.

[@darlingblue]

@@ScrumDelly ok but whomever puts their "glaze" on it has to eat watermelon beforehand so it at least follows a theme

[@mhlovey]

You asked, would you make this? Yes!! I’m using your video as a guide to make my own because I can’t find a legit recipe anywhere online and I bought a watermelon that didn’t have great flavor. I’m so excited! It’s in the basting stage now.

[@theworthysoul]

jmitterii2 still pigs are the most intelligent domestic animals, also the least healthy to eat, and we eat them because of our selfish entitled taste buds. Of all animals, pigs are the worst to farm. Can’t wait until lab grown meat saves them.

I love your demeanor. It was nice to see the positivity. Couldn't stop smiling. Wouldn't eat or make this, but, it was worth the watch. Looking forward to your other videos.

What if you used liquid smoke for an experiment? Maybe smoky ice-cream or idk. It's just a really cool ingrediant.🖒

"How to ruin your smoker while wasting a watermelon"

[@seekerowl3260]

I don't know if I have the patience (or a smoker) to make this but i reeeeaaally want to taste it.

[@spoonikle]

You may be able to slice it into thick stakes before the whole process to get the “skin” “sushi” style texture throughout the entire watermelon. Could be a very interesting “not”-sashimi.

[@SauceStache]

I've been thinking about this idea for a while... It would make great sashimi... or mock sushi salmon.

[@leejaden6875]

KZbin is recommending your channel!! Cheers mate.

[@leejaden6875]

;)

[@sagegeas9205]

Yup. Can confirm that.

[@SauceStache]

Thats awesome!!! Thanks for letting me know!

[@sagegeas9205]

@@SauceStache It's not that surprising really. You have a decent format for the show, you and those you include in it are personable, and because your topic covered (In this video at least) easily falls within their range of "acceptable videos for ad revenue"; here we are right now, having this conversation about you being recommended by KZbin. (As a clarifying note: No offence intended on what I am about to say on that last one about acceptable video range. The thing about that comment is I am basically saying that your show likely helps them push the political/philisophical narratives that are tied to their selection process. How so? Veganism this time around. Not that I have any personal issue with people who only want to eat plants, or in your case fish as well. But that's just how it is. If you had done an actual smoked ham, you probably wouldn't have gotten recommended. Some food for thought. Enjoy.)

[@esmeralda4297]

This is great, bless your channel! Keep up the great vids!!

When OrlandoFoodieGirl said it could be a sushi replacement, I suddenly thought that it could be really interested as a salmon replacement! (Might not meet the mark but could be interesting!)
