Selena Gomez loves pickles. But Benny Whitewatermelon pickle sandwich? Not so much.
The 36-year-old music producer posted a hilarious TikTok video on Friday explaining how he discovered this culinary concoction he calls a watermelon pickle sandwich. Two blocks of watermelon serve as the bread, and the toppings include cheese, pickles, balsamic vinegar and basil.
Delicious?
Before taking a bite, Blanco admits the snack looks “f***ing disgusting,” but he continues. His immediate reaction?
“It’s not bad,” he says after chewing on his new invention.
In the background, you can hear Gomez, 31, saying something to him before stepping into the frame and — proving she’s a fighter — being convinced to take a bite, and it all goes as smoothly as you’d expect. There was, however, one sweet moment when Gomez got some watermelon juice on the tip of her nose, which Blanco wiped off with his finger.
But Gomez couldn’t help herself. The “sandwich” made her shake her head.
Still, fans loved the video.
“I want more Selena and Benny content,” one fan commented. Another wrote: “Awwww I love this! And I think I agree with Selena!”
Gomez and Blanco have been giving fans a glimpse into their lives lately. Last week, they took part in the TikTok challenge “Who’s Most Likely To: Couples Edition,” in which Gomez revealed that she was the first to say “I love you” in the relationship.
By the way, watermelon pickle sandwich aside, Blanco is a whiz in the kitchen. In March, the producer participated in a live broadcast on TalkShopLive in support of her cookbook, Open Wide: A Cookbook for Friendsand enjoyed his girlfriend’s favorite meal.
“She’s a big meat lover, so anything with meat,” he shared. “She always orders meat and she always orders these perfect fries.”
The “Eastside” producer also shared that she likes a noodle dish that he highlights in the book. She also loves soup.
I hope without pickles.
