This watermelon was carved by students at Greensboro Technical Community College. GTCC has an amazing Culinary Technology program that prepares graduates for careers in food service. Years ago, our friends' children were in the childcare program at GTCC and the culinary program made lunches for the children. We used to laugh that the toddlers and preschoolers were eating chicken cordon bleu for lunch. Even if it wasn't literally chicken cordon bleu, the food was gourmet, nutritious, local and TASTY!
We stumbled on this humorous carving that the Parisian Promenade last weekend and thought it would be perfect for Skywatch Friday.
Too funny to eat - great decoration! Bravo!
Bon weekend

That's one fishy looking watermelon. I wonder how hard it is to do that.

That is one happy melon head! I love to eat watermelon too much for even a great looking one like this to last much longer than lunch though!
I really like shaped and decorative food,drives my DH crazy!
BTW , I just went over to say the same thing to the "Janis" posted above and saw you had been there and done that too!
Great minds...
