The nobles filled this role. (Westernreservepublicmedia.org) If peasants farmed, or did the duties that the nobles asked them to do, the nobles would prescribe the people with protection and safety. The protection was most often from the knights, who were most likely the sons of the nobles.
Step 1: Method. Show All Items. All you need is watermelon, knife and a marker if needed. Cut as shown on the first picture, then scoop out watermelon flesh (you can either use melon baller or just slice with knife or even a spoon (melon baller gives nice round shape tho!), as shown on the second picture. Then make a zig zag cut on side to create a basket effect as picture number 3.
Start off with your watermelon and a sharp knife. Mine was round and not terrible big so I started off slicing it in half. Then you take one half and make about 2-inch slices going in one direction. Then take your knife a carefully cut 2-inch slices going in the other direction. This is the technique similar to my Bloominâ Onion Bread. The very ends you will discard but the rest will be these beautiful sticks! There are a couple of tricks if you have a really big watermelon.
