Halloween Recipes – Brain Food

It’s a no-brainer!

SERVINGS : 1

Ingredients

• 1 small seedless watermelon (the brain)
• A picture of a brain to use as a guide

Directions

Step#1 : Determine which side you want to carve. If necessary, cut a small slice off the opposite side so the melon sets flat.

Step#2 : Using a sharp knife, carefully peel most of the green outer layer away from the watermelon, exposing the white layer below. Cut away most of the white layer in a few areas to expose a light pinkish color.

Step#3 : Using the brain picture as a guide, score lines on the melon with a toothpick.

Step#4 : With a sharp paring knife, carefully carve the scored lines, cutting away the white layer and exposing the melon’s flesh.

Step#5 : serve immediately

For added grossness : At serving time after your guests have had a chance to appreciate your master carving skills, begin “dissecting” the brain by cutting through the carved layer and exposing the “fleshy goodness” inside. Dig in!

Makes 1 edible cranium.
