Motherfucking cantaloupe. I’m mildly allergic to all melons, but I only avoid cantaloupe. Stupid orange rectangles that infest every fruit salad. And the name itself sounds like something inquisitors would yell as they dragged you out of you hovel for knowing too much about herbs.
Why do people keep growing those awful, inflamed-testicle-looking pieces of shit? Even taking the people that punch holes in the side and fuck them into account, I can’t imagine the demand is that high.
If you could pick it out and it didnt make every other fruit within a 10 mile radius taste like cantaloupe I wouldn’t mind it in the fruit salads so much
Good cantaloupe you can smell it in the store as you approach the display. If it is fragrant it’s ripe, otherwise it’s just a rock of tasteless nothing. This is a fruit I love but can imagine not liking, it’s a very distinct flavor.
I feel this way about 98% of canteloupes. Canteloupe can be very tasty if it is perfectly ripe and grown in good conditions. Not worth the risk though. Much better with prosciutto, too
In Australia they are called Rockmelon, because, you know…
Also they can be very bland or delicious, especially if you get one from a small fruit & veg shop rather than supermarket where they are picking shit way too early so it lasts longer on the shelf.
Yeah it’s entirely possible I’ve only had the weird soviet-style grocery ones that are like cutting through a block of ice and only have ballistic uses.

Sick to death of every fruit cup in stores and restaurants being 75% composed of that feet-smelling bitch-melon.

I love canteloupe! The smell, the colour, the texture, the taste… it’s all good to me
That’s fair. I don’t understand it but it’s fair.
Me too
Only on Lemmy do you get downvoted for liking cantaloupe. What’s up with that KuroiKaze@lemmy.world?

Reminded me of This. I fully agree with you and the video.
