and I hate Cantelope! I swear this cup of fruit salad is one piece of pineapple two pieces of honeydew, 5 grapes and the rest cantelope..Like 20 pieces...:grr: Is catelope a cheap fruit or something. Seems like I always have to dig around them in fruit salad..

1. How can you hate cantelope and like honey dew?
:shrug:

A ripe cantelope is one of the finest fruits on Earth!

7. If you can afford it, try a passion fruit.
The damn things are expensive, but there's nothing in the world that compares with them. Make sure you get a really ugly wrinkled one - those are the ones that are ripe.

9. There is a REALLY socially unacceptable response to that.
I'm not posting it because it would clearly violate DU rules.

5. If you know you're a picky eater
Why are you torturing yourself by eating other people's creations? They're just going to disappoint you. Secondly, if you never know what you're in the mood for, how do you know you do or don't want cantaloupe? It's really not the chef's fault your tongue is a Prima Donna.

6. Here's the sad part....
Its less torture to me to eat other people's food than anything from mine own hands. I am worse with cooking than with technology.
BTB...There are some things I'm just never going to like...But enough about Oingo Boingo.....:P

12. agreed
the melon just seems like "filler" to me. must be cheap or maybe it keeps a long time or some sort of advantage. the "invasive species" of the fruit salad realm.

18. All of those things are fruit. You got what you paid for.
Honestly, it's not as if they served you balled up Fruit of the Loom boxer briefs.

21. Lately I have found

The best way to eat fruit salad is to add Whipped cream (non fat) and Chocolate Syrup (sugarless) and it just makes it taste so yummy! I put a ton of chocolate syrup on the fruit, and then add the whipped cream.

25. Cantaloupe ain't worth spit unless
You can first smell it on the vine before you pluck the sucker and chill it before eating. Consumed, all the way down to a paper thin rind, it is ambrosia. Store bought cantaloupe isn't worth looking at, let alone eating.
