This might look like a juicy, crispy lump of smoked ham…but its actually a smoked watermelon.
Ducks Eatery, in New York, is a smokehouse restaurant which has decided to extend their smokey offerings to include a new vegetarian offering.
The faux-roast is causing something of a stir on social media, with some lambasting the watermelon as atrocious.
To create the juicy ham, the eatery first smokes the watermelon for eight hours before placing it into a brine made of salt, ash and spices for four days.
After that, its then smoked for another eight hours before being placed in a pan of rosemary, with meaty juices solidifying the taste.
YouTuber Jeremy Jacobwitzan, one half of the Brunch Boys, went to try the watery creation and said in a video that he didnt know how to process what (he) just ate, but its delicious.

Its such a mindf*ck…its like your brain wants to think”meaty” and get that smokiness and smokiness but then you go through it and you get the sweetness of the watermelon.
But opinion is still divided, with the top comment on YouTube being that vegans have gone too far.
One can only imagine.
