I've noted a few times recently how worthless melons are.

 

I've been getting a lot of honeydew and 100% flavorless cantaloupe on airplanes lately.

 

This is not fruit people want to eat, unlike the two slices of kiwi, the two strawberries and the single blackberry that are next to it.

The breakfast cereal is crazy. Imagine your kid dieing from a bowl of cereal.

We got a great honeydew from Whole Foods this week.

They've been smacked by a frog. You weren't expecting there'd be germs?

Purchase with your Discover card and that won't happen.

I've never been a fan of honeydew.

 

Cantaloupes, however, used to have flavor... I don't know what happened.

 

Perhaps the varieties that are commonly sold today are chosen mainly for their shelf life.

Local farmers around here grow wonderful cantaloupes. They're sweet and juicy, grow best in sandy soil. Some states have regs that favor appearance over taste. Go figure.

 

The cereal is baffling. I wonder how that happened.

My grandma used to serve us kids vanilla ice cream with chunks of cantaloupe cut up into it.

 

I adored it.

 

Yet even with those fond memories I find cantaloupe merely tolerable today. Perhaps I should check out a farmers market for these.

Definitely try a farmer's market. There's a big difference. We scoop the seeds out of half a cantaloupe, put a scoop of vanilla ice cream in the middle. It's scrumptious.

Who's we?

[breeze]

Me and my family, some of my friends. It's just a popular dessert around here.

Anyone had a banana melon? Yummy

I Googled banana melon...
