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.
Let's be honest: Watermelon can be tricky. Its round shape causes it to roll around on the cutting board and makes it difficult to slice angular cubes. But one man has figured out the perfect way to cut summer's most beloved fruit in just a few quick moves. First, use a large knife to cut the watermelon in half. Then, make two long slices down each side (but don't cut all the way through!). Next, separate the flesh from the rind by cutting in a circular shape around the center. After that is done, slice the entire center in such a way that you make crisscrossed cuts. Tip it over and watch the pieces tumble out.
