Have you literally never been to a backyard BBQ?

I have been to many, just none within the US, I guess this is an American thing. Wouldn’t see this at an Aussie Barbie

Watermelon is definitely a summer season/hot weather fruit common at American barbecues, but it is not specifically a thing to have it served on the same plate at the same time. Mostly people just pick up slices and eat them immediately, the melon slice never seeing the plate.

? I have been to and hosted 100's of "backyard bbq's" and I have never seen or had a burger and watermelon on the same plate.

Seems a recipe for soggy food for no reason. Why not put/eat the watermelon after?

How on earth would watermelon make the other food soggy? You know you're not supposed to put the watermelon on top of the other food, right?

Of course not, but you are supposed to use a spackling trowel to smash the watermelon and release its foul juices before eating the rind, aren't you?

This comment comes off as the guy who tries to prove how un-racist he is by announcing he has like 3 black friends.

What about a backyard bbq is black?

God, I had this roommate for a while. During COVID quarantine some of our neighbors invited him to attend their bbq down the street. Want until then I learned he was racist as shit, just didn’t know it. Not that he didn’t like black people, but they were “different” to him. I could tell by the way he told that story for the next 3 months til he moved out. What a loser

Nothing about the bbq is black, his comment just reminded me of this. MB.

Aha, what are you even going on about? Why not just stand on a chair and shout that you're a racist? Because it's a bbq and there is watermelon, it's now a "black" bbq?

Read my comment. Literally not the point I was attempting to make.
