I have consumed a half watermelon (the best from Parra) after consuming 2 half-quarters (3 pegs / 180 ml/ 18 dl) of Siolim Caju Feni and was none the worse. ==============
Dear Cecil, I am coming to Goa for the other half of the watermelon (Woke me up from my deep slumber !). Regarding not eating watermelon atleast a few hours after consuming alchohol - after 1 qtr of Siolim Caju Feni (two 1/2 qrtrs = 1 full qtr) - is anyone in a position to read the time. Anyways when I was a Child I used to hear that one must'nt drink Water after eating watermelon - or else one would get stomach-ache. or if one drinks water after consuming Black Berries (Zamblam) one would die. I am Alive !
