MOCK TUNA WATERMELON STEAK Recipe Taste Test

[@emcmoris]

If your watermelons taste like cucumbers, it means they are not ripe; they were picked to early. Stores do that to preserve shelf life of fruits & veggies. They “look” good, but are not ready. My grandparents had a watermelon patch. So believe me when I say there is definitely a taste difference in fresh grown & store bought watermelons.

[@lauren8627]

Same with most fruit and veg. I grew up on an apple orchard and once had a pink lady apple that I picked in Winter (June here) and it was the most AMAZING apple. Usually they are very tart, but they go all jelly-like in the middle (firm jelly) and it's the best! Granny smiths do the same if left on the tree longer :)

[@CaptainMcAwesomepan]

When I first came to the UK my brother and I did some stints picking apples and strawberries to pay the bills, and the difference between the fruit we were picking (and consuming) and the fruit you buy in a supermarket is night and day. Particularly the apples, which after picking tend to sit in a warehouse for months before going to the shops. There was also a potato field next door that we once filched a small bag from, they were undeniably the best tasting potatoes I've ever had.

[@korecelium]

[@shonsingletary7350]

So true I don't eat watermelon from grocery stores I have always grown up eating them off farmer trucks and are way better firm juicy and sweet. The ones from the grocery always taste plain like not sweet. I would say so about grapes as well they taste nearly bad from stores compared to from a tree. I used to live in a peach farm so same there they are never ripe in stores. I would love to taste a fresh apple and small tangerines. My favorite fruits but never tasted them fresh.

A better tuna replacement is to score Roma tomatoes, blanch them quickly like I usually do 30 seconds. Then peel the skins and de seed them. Marinate the flesh in soy sauce, Sriracha and a little sesame oil for four or more hours. Put on rice and wrap with nori. Taste exactly like tuna maki. Are we all satisfied I changed the word. Most weeks I throw it in a bowl with vegetables and some vegan spicy mayo and make a sushi bowl.

My cousin is a vegan and she made grilled watermelon a few years ago at a family BBQ. (She didn't say anything about it being "mock tuna," and it was served as a dessert.) I wasn't a fan. To me, a large part of the watermelon experience is the cold, refreshing juiciness of it, and grilled watermelon obviously doesn't have that. Kudos for trying it, though.

[@destroya21]

What say you of grilled pineapple or bananas/plantains??

[@kwikstyn]

You should still try cold watermelon with the balsamic glaze, mint, AND feta cheese. It adds the savory flavor but keeps the cold crisp juiciness!

[@damien1781]

sirensirennn omg watermelon and feta cheese is heaven!!! Not sure about the balsamic vignettes but I sometimes put hot sauce on it yum

[@jbeargrr]

If watermelon tastes cucumbery, I wonder if you're getting melons that are under-ripe. If the belly-spot isn't a nice yellow, it's not ripe. If​ it's gone deeper toward school bus yellow, it likely to be over-ripe.

[@tsmk4262]

jbeargrr exactly. Watermelons when ripe taste literally nothing like cucumbers. I like cucumbers as well so I eat both and they literally taste nothing alike.

[@drvetsaveyourpet4622]

My granddad grew watermelons and always had the rule of thumb “the uglier the melon, the better the inside. Like your grandma.” 😂😂😂😂😂

[@timharbison7519]

Yeah fully ripe watermelons taste nothing like cucumbers. At least not here in the south

[@calebv123]

I think it might be one of those cases where some people’s taste buds are more sensitive to certain tastes? Like how some people hate cilantro because it tastes like soap to them, or they can’t eat certain bitter foods because the bitterness is amplified to them to the point of nausea. But idk lol maybe you’re right

[@MMandGlitter]

Cucumbers and watermelons are closely related. Actually so much so that they will reproduce with each other if planted next round each other. It's actually pretty cool because it yeilds HUGE cucumbers. Anyways, since they are related I can see how it would taste like cucumbers to some

[@Danisaysnihao91]

[@nachogirl35]

Well the whole “ball sack” thing was unexpected, but hilarious nonetheless 😂

[@duallove6909]

Emmy, if watermelon has a cucumber taste then it is not a good one. A good watermelon is pure unique flavour and so so sweet.

[@SayYesToTacos1217]

Ghaida H exactly! Too many people buying out of season watermelon. Down south has the best watermelon.

[@predatorhousepet4395]

Vine-ripened watermelon is nothing like cucumber. Sounds like you've only tried the anemic grocery store version.

[@katiebayliss9887]

Ghaida H no it's not, it's flavorless.

[@astrowiz3544]

Katie Bayliss again, flavorless watermelon is out of season watermelon.

[@predatorhousepet4395]

Grocery store watermelons are picked unripe and out of season. They don't taste good even after they've "ripened." An in-season watermelon allowed to fully ripen on the vine tastes amazing, full of flavor and sweetness.

What!? I could sit and eat whole watermelons all day long (if they didn't fill me up so fast). I don't like the taste of cucumbers either, but I've never once thought watermelons had that flavor, I guess everyone has different taste buds. Odd.

[@aaamama5187]

Jeremy Jacobson I love both and I have to agree, I don't think they taste similar at all. 🤔

[@Desolate-Utopia]

I can as well, but I don't know anyone that actively eats to that part of the watermelon, usually it's by accident by taking too big of a bite. But for about 90% of the watermelon itself, I've never tasted a cucumber flavor.

[@mirandamom1346]

[@jonnyace9198]

I love fake watermelon candy flavor but i really dislike watermelons. Even weirder: I love cucumbers. Not so much plain, -dressing, vinegar&sugar, or just a little salt make cucumbers very tolerable for me.

Emmy, I absolutely adore and admire how you'll try anything at least once. My dad raised me to be that way too. He always told me to give something a try at least once and if I didn't like it, I could spit it out and I never have to eat it again. But yeah, thanks to him, I am more than willing to try anything at least once and I'm very thankful to him for that because even though I do eat some pretty weird and crazy things, if it wasn't for him, I wouldn't even know just how good they are. But I really do admire you for putting yourself out there for our entertainment and knowledge and teaching us about different foods and the different ways they can be prepared and how they are eaten. I can't wait to try some of the things you showed cuz they look so interesting and I am more than willing to try them. So, thank you for doing this. I appreciate you teaching us the history and other information about the foods that you have shown on your channel. Thank you for taking the time to teach and show us all about different foods. You're just great and I admire your adventurism and willingness to do and try new things, Emmy, you're awesome. Love your channel and your videos.

I think you should soak it in a brine of soy sauce, nori & nutritional yeast I bet it would taste more like fish . I also think it should be soaked least overnight and possibly thrown in a food dehydrator for a few hrs before cooking to improve texture and caramelization. I think I am going to try just exactly what i just said .

We're Australian and we love BBQ'd watermelon or cooked in a griddle pan so you get the grill marks. It takes on a very different texture and you get the beautiful dark caramelised lines. If you let it cook through a little more, it does take on a different texture that isn't as crunchy and definitely more like a protein. We love BBQing thinner slices of watermelon and then adding a freshly cooked scallop on top. I'm sure you will love it too. We serve it in the shell. Just something we made up one weekend when the seafood and watermelon was at peak season. Also, an over ripe watermelon won't give you that cucumber flavour. It's very sweet and more 'fleshy' when BBQ'd

Hey, Emmy! I’ve watched your videos for years and love your channel. I haven’t been on KZbin for a while and just watched your ketchup cake video. It reminded me of my mom’s chocolate sauerkraut cake. Anyone who has ever eaten mine or my mom’s chocolate cakes (not knowing they contain sauerkraut) always gives a look of shock and disbelief when we tell them. None of them can ever detect it, even after being told it’s in there. It makes the cakes extremely moist, and more and more people that we’ve shared this secret with have adopted it into their own kitchens. It works with any frosting, but my mom and I love to make chocolate cakes with cream cheese frostings. I’ve tried making a variety of cakes with sauerkraut and have found that the best ones to use it in are chocolate and (surprisingly) pumpkin. I definitely recommend making a chocolate sauerkraut cake if you’ve never tried it before!

I remember years ago (back in the early 2000s) I watched something on TV about molecular gastronomy in the restaurant industry and they did something similar where they tried to make watermelon have the texture of meat. What they did was they compressed the fruit in a vacum chamber and not only did it look like tuna but it also had the same texture. When I went looking for it again right now I found a recipe to turn it into vegan tartar with a mango yolk that looked delicious!

[@mayordoctor3961]

what we did at a restaurant in austin like 8 years ago was press the watermelon to make it more dense and vacuum seal it with a light soy based sauce briefly. the combination of the pressing and added umami made it more tuna-like in texture and had flavors that reminded you of tuna. we served it nigiri style.

I recall seeing a technique on a food show called Marcel's Quantum Kitchen years ago. They took watermelon, took out some of the moisture from it and then added some back in with a mixture with soysauce. It gives it a tuna like quality. And from when I've has soysauce on watermelon I can say it does impart a fish like taste. I'm sure you could find the whole thing somewhere, youtube actually has the episode, the second one, for sale, but here's a clip of it. kzbin.info/www/bejne/fpu1ppqNfrl7fNE

And last but not least recipe #4 get a bag of barbecue Lay's chips and a bag of Funyuns crunch them to death LOL just as you would the hot Cheetos and Lucas mix the two together that is the Lays barbecue chips and the Funyuns and Bone appetit I love to hear your opinion on these I still eat the barbecue chips and Funyuns together to this day they were my favorite actually they all are my favorite I just can't tolerate the hotness anymore looking forward to the video If you decide to do it thanks for sharing..

Notice how she used better quality oil to sear the watermelon and how she uses balsamic vinegar, both healthy food choices. I'm not so sure hot Cheetos is a healthy choice of food with msg and other additives/preservatives mixed with the spiciness. In a pinch, maybe, but over time....

I sincerely assumed the "Watermelon Steak" thing was a very well organized and publicised joke directed at vegans and vegetarians. God knows there are many folks who hate us enough that such a thing would be totally plausible. [Not saying that hatred isn't low key sorta justified 75% of the time, but I digress] But seeing that Emmy, who is the embodiment of positivity and wholesomeness, has made video about it, I am now convinced that it is a real thing. If Emmy were to tell me that water is bad for us and vodka is the only acceptable source of hydration, I would believe it without the slightest tinge of doubt.

I've had watermelon done this way. It reminded me of eating warmed-up sweet pickles. I dunno -- I prefer cold watermelon.

[@amiralee13]

Instantly impressed by the way she cut the watermelon into a square 😭

[@eyadamr9858]

If you don't like watermelon because of its cucumber flavor get one of the really ripe ones with lots of seeds

[@katiebayliss9887]

EYAD nah, they're just nasty.

[@PeachesNScales]

I love grilling pear halves on the bbq with honey, serve those bad boys with a fresh helping of homemade vanilla bean ice cream 👌 one of my all time favorite summer treats.

“Smile.🙃” :P

[@marli8907]

I love cucumber and watermelon. Put salt on them both, and they're both delicious. I don't think they share much in flavor, though. Just in watery crunch.

[@cockdungeonator]

Mock what? Say that again..?

[@tomi1964]

After binging on all your beekeeper vids last night, I have no idea how you have time to come up with this stuff, and chase after two little boys! I thought for sure you would hate this dish... I might have to try it because I’m a watermelon flan!! Smile🙃

Life is full. Life is great. 💕

Where I am in the middle of summer the watermelons are so sweet. This kinda makes me sad for the watermelon. I wonder if I could stomach it this way?

[@emmymade]

Yeah, this should be a fall or winter video..

[@kaidanariko]

emmymadeinjapan where you are you get watermelons all year? We only get pre-cut chunks for a LOT of money. Like 5-10$

[@kaidanariko]

emmymadeinjapan (if I wasn’t so nauseated recently I’d probably try this as it’s the only time I can get my hands on watermelon) Ball-sack vinegar is the best thing ever btw

[@blessyourheart1115]

“We like to call it ballsack vinegar, cause that’s fuuun.” I had to rewind that to make sure that’s what you said. You caught me off guard. I’m dying of laughter 😂😂

[@JDCareyMusic]

The best part of the cucumber is the worst part of the watermelon.

[@staciemccann2898]

I have been catching up on your videos (can't get the Fruity Fruits jingle out of my head lol) I love everything about this channel 😻 thank you for your happiness and knowledge (and courage trying things!) Always makes me smile. Would you be so kind as to tell me what you say before you eat and what it means? Thank you for these little rays of sunshine, Emmy! ❤❤❤

[@peachy7099]

never clicked so fast.

[@blackmangopit]

just found your channel - very cool and I like your commentary as your preparing and cooking

[@navyboijake21]

We eat grilled watermelon all summer!!!

[@meganb4646]

Thank you SOOOOOO much for being such a quiet eater! Totally cool with hearing chewing but "wet-eaters" just heeb me out. You're one of the few channels I can watch.

[@Emily-dm5rw]

I really wouldn't call it mock tuna (mahi mahi). but its a great vegan recipe! I say this for the lack of protiein, and reallly seared only tuna color. Not trally a faux dish IMHO, says a Delray Beach/Boca Girl.

[@shayleekoneferenisi9075]

I was super confused about this new craze too!! 😝 Glad you did this!

[@Blackandblueoddstar]
