I’m going to go with no.
However I do have a schmancy chef friend who used to salt, press and dehydrate watermelon to serve with dry cured ham.

Anything can be made to taste like ham.

'Zakly. I would love it to be ham. They would love to tell us it was ham. And they just stop just short of that. Yes, it is probably ham-azing, but ham is a tough act to follow. Keep trying fellas, and thanks for the honesty, whether you meant it or not.
Any superchurch preacher or televangelist could all tell us it is the One True Ham, and only People Who Hate America say it wasn’t, hand on heart or stack of bibles as appropriate. But not these guys. Yay, them.

Watermelons are delicious. Why not try to make ham taste like them instead?

A perfectly ripe, chilled slice of watermelon is the ultimate anytime food for me. I will destroy it every time.

I don’t think I could smoke a whole watermelon.

Really hope it’s not one of those dirt melons, they’re full of seeds.

As a rule, I try not to eat foods that are pretending to be other foods. But I’d give this a shot.

Some of us were hoping this effort was successful. Can’t even stand the smell of 'em, which led me to curse whoever decided to make that a Now and Later candy flavor…
