When I was a kid it would be watermelon. Once I hit my teens I started to prefer Cantaloupe. What got the change going for me was my aunt and uncle had a farm on the west side of the San Joaquin Valley of California. Prime Cantaloupe growing country. They'd bring a huge box of them to us when they came to visit and they were field ripened - not the one's picked green for the supermarkets. O.M.G. - unbelievable difference. So sweet and super orange colored.

just give me melons and rhubarb.

I love all melons and I love me some rhubarb with strawberry.

 

[Howard]

The hell is rhubarb?

 

[mikeford]

Rhubarb looks like red celery, tastes nothing like anything else, sort of tangy. Strawberry and Rhubarb go great together.

Crenshaw maybe the best melon, but watermelon can be excellent as well. Oddly in a salad bar situation I tend to skip the watermelon and eat cantaloupe and honeydew.

Watermelon is a mellon.

Cantaloupe is a mellon.

Honeydew is a mellon.

Rhubarb is shit and is certainly not a mellon! WTF

 

[KeithTalent]

Well a mellon is not a melon either, so...

I like all three. They are great meal enders and put a sweet taste on the palate that is very refreshing. But the honeydew is my all time favorite since it tastes the best with prosciutto wrapped around it. <drool>

Honeydew is garbage.

Picked fresh and ripe: cantaloupe, honeydew, watermelon

Purchased from the store: watermelon, and buy both the cantaloupe and honeydew, because odds are, one of the two is going to suck because it was picked long before it was ripe.

And, I prefer the order above, because when you dice up a really large watermelon, and that watermelon is of perfect sweetness and ripeness, it almost goes down like water - and it's pretty easy to eat it until you have a stomach ache.

Plus, good cantaloupe tastes better than good watermelon.

You got that right brother.

Golden melons are the best. They're honeydew with the flavor amped up twice as much.

Golden/Honeydew > canteloupe > watermelon.

That sounds twice as bad as regular honeydew. D:

Well that's ok. You can go back to your boring watermelons.

What's with all the fucking hate for Honeydew???

Lack of taste.

Lack of taste.

Most fruit you get at the grocery store has very little taste these days. Sad but true.

Cantaloupe!

What's with all the fucking hate for Honeydew???

You wouldn't eat out of the garbage can, would you? So why eat honeydew?

 

[ElFenix]

the best you've ever had.

that would be a peach



watermelon, heirloom tomatoes, thin sliced serranos, and mint, with a balsamic reduction, is a delicious salad.

 

[crimescenejunky]

the correct answer is honeydew/peaches (when theyre good)

 

[Kaido]

Lack of taste.

Canary melon (smooth yelow) = super-sweet version of a honeydew melon.

Honeydew is useless :thumbsdown:

 

[Imported]

A ripe, sweet honeydew is my favorite.. but it's so hit or miss. As others have said, watermelon is much more consistent.

I'm gonna have to try to find this canary melon. Sounds like its right up my alley.
