Some do the same with honeydew/cantaloupe here, I'd enver heard of it but seems to be a big thing this year here.
Yummm! Lovely ripe honeydew or cantaloupe with a scoop of vanilla ice cream is a late summer classic for dessert. I've never had Blue Bell (I've heard it's legendary), but any good fresh local vanilla ice cream would be great for this.

And cold watermelon chunks whizzed about in a blender with a modicum of gin result in a true adult beverage pleasure Down South, "plugging" a chilled watermelon with equally chilled vodka some hours before consumption is not unknown in the summertime.
