Cantaloupe tastes like rotten fruit

You've never eaten a proper cantaloupe if this is your real opinion. I wouldn't be surprised, as most cantaloupe you find anywhere is garbage. It has a short season and should never be eaten outside of season.[/quote]

Yes. DH was like cantaloupe-disliking PP but I helped him see the light[/quote]

DS didn't like yellow vegetables but loved cantaloupe (and athena melons, which seem more reliably better) and still does. But it is so, so hard to get a good cantaloupe. Most are green and they don't actually ripen after being picked. I read that they way to find a ripe cantaloupe is to smell the stem end, you should be able to smell the fruit (I try to be discreet about this when I do try it). Most of the time you can't smell anything at all. Pretty much it does seem like it actually has to approach fermentation to get sweetness and the right texture--not crisp but avoiding mushy.[/quote]
Ripe cantaloupe smells like poop to me. I can't even keep it in my house[/quote]

Maybe the best thing i have ever tasted was a slice of fresh cantaloupe, still warm from the garden (I was visiting a friend in the south of france) sprinkled with just a few grains of sea salt. it was sublime. It was a miracle flavor.

I hate cantaloupe in the USA.[/quote]

You do realize how pretentious you sound, right?[/quote]
