This Sushi Dish Looks Like Slices of WatermelonInstagram member @vickyskitchan describes herself as “a small gal who eats too much.” From her kitchen in London, she makes culinary wonders pleasing to both the eye and the tongue. They include these sashimi appetizers. She picked up the tuna from The Upper Scale, a British fish market, and sliced them into watermelon-like crescents. The rind is made from hollowed out cucumber slices. Sesame seeds complete the look to create the impression that one is eating tiny but real watermelons.It looks complicated, but Vicky describes the meal as “quite possibly one of the fastest appetizers I’ve ever put together.”-via Gastro Obscura#sushi #watermelon

Watermelon-themed Gas Tank in Japan Dismantled Using Apple Peeling Demolition MethodIn order to demolish a 33.8 meter diameter and 37 meter high watermelon-like gas tank in Tokyo, two workers were suspended above the platform as they “peel away” the shell using the “apple peeling demolition” technique.The gas tank was used to promote the city, which is known for its watermelon, but eventually was rendered useless because gas distribution directly to homes is now possible in the area.“With residents saddened by the dismantling, the Tomisato Municipal Government sent a letter of thanks to the gas tank via Tokyo Gas in September 2020 for "being loved for many years as a symbol of Tomisato and for promoting Tomisato as a place abundant with watermelon produce."Image Credit: Mainichi/Tadakazu Nakamura#demolition #applepeeling #watermelon #tokyo #japan
