When you are at a really fancy reasturant and you are eating a watermelon, what are you supposed to do with the seeds. it isnt like picnicing where you can just spit them out anywhere?

I actually hauled out an old Emily Post book my great aunt gave me & it says to discreetly spit the seeds onto your spoon. I think it would be funner to ping them across the room.

The same bowl that you put your chicken wing bones or lobster shells into is also suitable for watermelon seeds. If you spit them at an upward angle you can hit it right in the center of that bowl.
If I had a choice of fancy restaurant desserts I sure would not get a watermelon with seeds. The easiest approach is stick with something else where seed disposal is not an issue.

Put a spoon to your mouth and gently spit them into the spoon. You then empty the contents onto your plate. You can spit them into your tightly cupped hand as well. Or you could cut it with your knife fork and work the seeds out that way. You really should eat watermelon with a knife and fork in a fancy restaurant.

When eating watermelon at a restaurant you should use a fork and knife. Bring the fork to your mouth and gently spit the seeds on the fork and then put back to the dish.

When you spit anything out at a restaurant, you usually hide it in your napkin so that nobody can see it. You can also eat it with a fork, which is probably more proper, and keep the seeds on one portion of your plate. Or, if you really want to, hide the seeds in your mouth and spit them out in the restroom.
~The proper side of my family uses a fork, even at a barbecue.

1- cut up the watermelon into bite sizes,
use dessert knife to remove the seeds on the plate, use fork to pick up small pieces of the watermelon and put in your mouth.

If your in a fancy shamshy restaurant, you are not supose to pick your mellon up, use your fork and avoid the seeds. Most nicer restaurants do not leave melon in the rind.
If you don't care what people think :) pick it up and eat it and spit them in your napkin.

Swallow them...no watermelons will grow in the vat of hydrochloric acid that we call the human stomach. Fruit seeds were meant to be swallowed.
