I've had a lot of honeydews. They're always too wet, and taste strange.
by Chemical-Idea-37951 week ago
I, typically not a honeydew fan, got a fresh fruit plate for breakfast at a hotel in Greece a few weeks ago. There was a large honeydew slice. I was not excited for it but all the fruit was so nice I said hey let's give it a try. If I could get honeydew like that at home it would be competing for my favorite fruit. Unlike any honeydew I'd ever tasted. Texturally and flavor wise just absolutely incredible. Sent down by the Greek Gods themselves. An absolutely divine experience
by buckridgealexza1 week ago
Same. Yet I had a honeydew-type melon at a breakfast buffet in Guangzhou, China in 2002 that I still fantasize about.

In this case they sound very right though. Cantaloupe isn't yellow, and it is objectively not citrus, the OP's description sounds like they're eating terrible food and just need to go to . . . a grocery store . . .

You're right. I haven't.

I'll ask you the same question I asked the last person who told me this: have you ever had cantaloupe not in a fruit salad you got in a breakfast plate or hotel buffet?

I have, and my dislike of cantaloupe was unchanged.

With just a couple shakes of black pepper on it. My great grandmother used to do it, and I can't explain why it works, just that it does.
by Weak-Middle1 week ago
Not necessarily. For me, it's that "melon" flavor that tastes particularly hideous. I don't like cantaloupe, watermelon, honeydew, etc. despite my family having a huge garden where I could get those things sun-ripened and fresh off the vine. There's just something about that melon taste that absolutely revolts me, kinda like those people that can't stand the taste of cilantro.
by jordy851 week ago
Hami melon is the best of all worlds for me. It has some of the same sweetness of cantaloupe, with a slightly floral aroma and very crisp texture more like an asian pear.

by Anonymous1 week ago
Cantaloupes are only good if you dump a ton of tajin or salt on it And they have a very terrible aftertaste that stays in your mouth for like 30 minutes "If you find the right cantaloupe it will taste exactly like watermelon" hell nah everytime i got forced to eat cantaloupe as a kid they always tasted gross af I ain't even picky i love every eating fruit and vegtable except cantaloupe Atleast Honeydew tastes good cantaloupes are nasty af

I think you mean fresh. Chop a cantaloupe in half, spoon the seeds into the trash and enjoy. Bring a towel.
by Anonymous1 week ago
I'm with OP. There's no such thing as good cantaloupe
by Schroederfoster1 week ago
Most fruits are hit and miss. Cantaloupe definitely has one of the highest miss rates of all. I have had one cantaloupe—just one, and if memory serves it was picked from the garden that day—that I will never forget. Every part of it was perfect. I dream about replicating that experience. It was transcendent. But I have had innumerable cantaloupe that were more or less as OP described. I'm fairly sure all of the ones in-between, as in, good but nothing to write home about, I at least cut up myself—not in some fruit salad or fruit cup or salad bar etc.
by According_Range_95341 week ago
It's hit OR miss. Hit AND miss makes no sense. You don't take a shot and "hit and miss". You hit... or you miss.

Actually my favorite fruit. At least when it's fresh.
by Pleasant_Time1 week ago
You need to get one from a farmers market or roadside place. Ask whoever is selling them for one that is a little bit too ripe and leave it in the refrigerator overnight before you cut it up. I've literally never tasted a good cantaloupe from a store or fruit salad or even in a restaurant. They are only good when extremely ripe and coming out of the refrigerator. At which point they are amazing.

Tasteless? Of all the ways to describe cantaloupe you went with tasteless?
by blanche561 week ago
Honeydew is far worse
by EvidenceStock1 week ago
I'm going to guess that you've never grown any kind of food let alone fruit.
by Possible-Cycle-76731 week ago
Cantaloupe is only tasteless when it's underripe. Unfortunately, most stores only sell it that way because it's harvested too early for shipping. Buy it at a farmer's market of grow your own.
by rennerfreida1 week ago
I second this. The absolute best canteloupe I've ever had were home grown. You don't pick them. You check them each day and when it detaches itself from the vine, it's ready to eat. Sweet, juicy, tender and perfect. The second best canteloupe was from a farmer's market.
by emeraldkeebler1 week ago
Banana ruins fruit salad way more than cantaloupe does
by Myrl961 week ago
You're eating crappy cantaloupe. Yes, bad cantaloupe is just filling and watery. Good cantaloupe is sweet especially towards the center where the seeds are, and has a great taste. Same for honeydew melon. For me, watermelon is far worse. Often flavorless, just watery, and even when its good the flavor isn't nearly as pleasing as other melons. Meanwhile you've got a metric ton of seeds to contend with which ruins the whole thing. Its beyond a doubt the worst melon and probably the worst fruit.
by AdventurousSnow1 week ago
Just swallow the watermelon seeds like an adult! I promise one won't start growing in your stomach.

I liked watermelon until I was about eight years old. That summer, I swear that is all my family fed me to snack on to the point I felt like they were shoving it down my throat at every possible turn. I got so sick of it that I have not liked it since, and I am now forty years old.

HATING CANTALOUPE
by Kennith551 week ago
You need to find some better cantaloupe my guy. A decent cantaloupe has a sweet taste and is soft and smooth in texture. If unripe, it's hard and doesn't taste great. Maybe try buying a whole ripe one instead of the fruit salad cups which are terrible no matter what fruit you eat.
by Able-Voice1 week ago

I became allergic to cantaloupe somewhere along the way, and I really want to believe that this is true. Unfortunately, my recollection is that they are fairly delicious. Perhaps that memory will sour with time…

Wrong again. Cantaloupe is awesome. For a few months out of the year (summer) when you can get nice ripe ones.

I think it's one of those genetic things. Receptors and such. I hate it, or just find it very neutral at best, but I know people who love it… Like if you can smell your pee after you've eaten asparagus.

Or cilantro tasting soapy.

This feels like you're mostly eating the ones in the pre-sliced bowls. They always put the underripe ones in there. I'm not saying it's the best thing ever, but ripe one is not THAT bad.

You gotta pick a fragrant cantaloupe, and then let it ripen till there's at least one mushy spot on the outside. Then you will love cantaloupe.

Prosciutto and cantaloupe is an amazing flavor combo.
by Anonymous1 week ago
Clearly you've never had honeydew melon. It's like someone filled a melon with sweet water, picked it before it was ripe, then placed some grass nearby. But, no, you're correct. Most cantaloupe bought in the U.S. is a complete waste of money. I'm not even sure squirrels would eat it.
by ZealousidealPoet86331 week ago
It's disgusting
by Anonymous1 week ago
Most of what is sold as cantaloupe in the US isn't actually cantaloupe. It's a closely related, but not quite as tasty, melon called Musk Melon. Real cantaloupe has noticeable green "lines." I still like musk melon, but not as much as real cantaloupe.

High-end cantaloupe is one of the most expensive fruits in my country, it's really well regarded. I have only had it once because I am not paying 50-60 USD (or more) for a melon, but it was extremely good. Maybe not worth the cost, but I will happily take one if it's given to me. I feel if it's tasteless it must be a fairly low quality melon, because I found it really sweet.

Grocery store cantaloupe is bland and gross, I fully agree with you. However, I got a cantaloupe in a farmshare box somewhat revently and it was amazing. It's what I remember cantaloupe tasting like when I was a little kid. Sweet, tender, and refreshing. It tasted more like melon than the best melon candy.

Sounds like you've never been to a good farmers market during prime cantaloupe season and had a professional pick one out for you.

Cantaloupe is a decent filler fruit, but it has the weirdest flavor that I don't like. Watermelon is sweet water, which just hits the spot, and honeydew when ripe (when not they literally taste like nothing) are also incredibly sweet. But cantaloupe isn't really sweet and on its own it's disappointing.
