Week #8-Youtube Video

The video I watched is from Insider and the video is about how this restaurant smokes a watermelon and how it resembles a smoked ham. It has all the brownings and marks just like the smoked ham, and the process is the same. The speaker is Herrine Ro who is a producer for Insider and she values weird foods and trends. The occasion is that it is a popular trend which she saw on Instagram , Duck’s Eatery serves this watermelon. The primary audience is those individuals who wondered if the smoked watermelon actually tasted like the real smoked ham. The secondary audience is those individuals who love food trends. The purpose of the video was to see if the taste of the smoked watermelon resembled the taste of a smoked ham. The subject of the video is smoked watermelon. In terms of the taste of the watermelon, the watermelon is smoky, savory and salty. Herrine said that the smoked watermelon didn’t taste like watermelon nor did it taste like country ham. It sounded cool and I wondered how it tasted. I thought that the price for the smoked watermelon was a bit high, a smoked watermelon for 75 dollars. I also thought the thinking behind the smoked watermelon was interesting and thoughtful because the restaurant is a meat house and they wanted something that vegans could also eat.
