I love that it's how soups and stews used to be made.
Cut open a gourd, scoop out the stuff you don't want, throw in some other stuff, and put the thing over a fire to cook.
Watermelon mushroom soup, however, does not sound tasty.
That's why it was very strange. Gourd soup sounds great though.
They didn't have a pumpkin, so they substituted in a watermelon and intend to leave a bad review for the recipe.
This is how I cook. I try new things then leave a bad review for myself when it doesn't turn out tasty.
My wife says there's a recipe for a reason, but to me a recipe is just a starting point.
A recipe is just a vague suggestion. The true adventure is trying to figure out how to integrate durian into every meal.
