Why the hate on Honeydew? Honeydew is awesome!
I'll admit, sometimes you get a completely tasteless one. But get one at the sweet spot of ripeness...my god...it's ambrosia.
I hear this argument about honeydew all the time, that it can be flavorless.
Well that's the same with most fruit, it's called "ripeness" and not every fruit ripens at the same rates, so you tend to get some less sweet than others.
I think people just hate the "investment" of cutting open a whole melon and it not being good, so instead of learning how to tell how ripe it is, they just swear off the fruit.
Fine, more for me.
You can get a bad version of almost any food. It doesn't mean anything. It's really common to get a tasteless orange, but that doesn't stop me from buying or liking oranges.
It made me stop buying oranges I'll tell ya that much
Right but the goodness floors and ceilings vary from fruit to fruit. A bad banana is mostly going to be bland and boring at worst, for example, whereas a bad peach can be a disgusting piece of shit. Melons are like peaches. When they're bad, they're really bad.
I actually do like it but I do find that it's just kind of a worse version of cantaloupe
