Least favorite fruit.



I hear it's not to fond of you as well ..
(:

No matter. I rarely have anything to do with it. I've still got peaches, cherries, blueberries, raspberries, strawberries, mangos, watermelon, tangerines, and pineapple for company. Thanks.

Have you ever had mango with sticky rice? Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

You've probably had bad experiences with Cantaloupe Australians call Rock Melons.

Over ripe they can be downright horrible but chosen carefully they're one of the best things you can eat. The trick to choosing a good one is smelling the end. If there is no smell, it's under-ripe. If it has a strong smell, it is over ripe and seriously horrible. Avoid those ones. But, if they have a light rock melon/cantaloupe smell, they're the best.

love it
honeydew melon is second followed by the best thirst-quencher, cold seedless watermelon

After reading this thread, I bet cantaloupe, honeydew and even watermelon could go into a white wine "sangria" garnished with mint. Sounds refreshing for summer.
thats the nice part about living in the northeast - seasons

ever do the vodka watermelon? u knock each one and whichever sounds most hollow, buy. then make a hole in the top, pour in the vodka and let it soak

if its a big melon u can get a whole bottle in the there lol
