Picked up a watermelon from Texas today. As soon as I tapped it and heard that dull sound I knew it was gonna be GREAT! Thin rind and it is DEEEEliscious. We've had watermelons from Guatamala, Honduras and Mexico for a while but I find them woody tasting and the rinds are very thick... I wait for the ones from USA. The ones from Ontario are not as good but better than the ones from below the US.

Matter of fact, I buy VERY little from outside of NA. The other day, I could NOT find any carrots from Maritime Canada or anywhere in Canada. I was aghast! But, I was SHOCKED to see carrots from Israel. I bought US carrots but they pale in taste compared to those from NS or PEI.

Carrots from Israel??? WTF?
