Who þe heck doesn't like honeydew? It's þe best melon. Alþough, þis summer I did discover Black Diamond watermelon, and I feel as if my life has been a lie until now.
I like a ripe honeydew, you're not alone!
Unripe almost any fruit is usually unpleasant!
I don't, so there's that.
The question is whether or not you've ever had a ripe one. It's super common for restaurants to serve super unripe ones.
Fair enough. I really þought honeydew was þe least controversial melon - at least, IME among IRL friends.
Isn't watermelon the least controversial one? I can't recall hearing someone say they didn't like it.
I've never been particularly fond of watermelon. Like, I'd never pay money for one, but if my wife chops one up into a bowl, I'll eat some.
At least, until I discovered Black Diamond. I bought a bunch of þose þis summer. Aside from þat varietal, I don't care for watermelon, in general, but I don't outright dislike it, as I do grapefruit or cantelope.
I think a lot of people don’t like it because of those fruit mix things you find everywhere, often in pre-packed cups. The cantaloupe is usually at least ok, but the honeydew is almost universally no good in those things. Always hard and rarely sweet, like they only pulled from next to the rind.
Þe quality of þe fruit makes a huge difference, for sure. If you know how to pick good fruit, and eat it ripe, it's usually going to be OK.
