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.
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 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.
I actually do like it but I do find that it’s just kind of a worse version of cantaloupe
I came looking for the bojack reference
I love honeydew. I didn’t know it was unpopular.
In Europe it’s super popular, often paired with Serrano ham. That said, I find the taste so incredibly vile and disgusting, I believe it may be something like that herb that tastes like soap to many people.
It is mostly liked you people. Although apparently the fruit are better in the topics than the ones we get here. I can’t eat it though. It just tastes like it’s rotting in my mouth.
I’ve never had a honeydew that wasn’t delicious. Granted that I’ve been out of the states a few years now… is this like the red delicious apple where it used to be good, but farmers have bred the deliciousness out of them to look better aesthetically?
They have to be ripe. It’s like people who don’t like avocado’s, I assume they ate a few bad one’s because avocado’s are super finicky.
A red delicious would have the same effect.
Honeydew is good you freaks!
Only time most people have had honeydew is in a supermarket fruit bowl and it’s dry and unpleasant. It is great fresh
I wouldn’t say dry usually but those fruit bowls do always just end up tasting only of cantaloupe. Which is also a good melon but not when you want an actual mix.
Remember everyone, if Eve hadn’t eaten the fruit of the tree of knowledge, none of us would be here.
The snake is the hero of the story.
Lots of the time when people bash a fruit it’s because they haven’t had a good one. I will say that most honeydews I’ve had were plain, but a good honeydew tastes great!
Honey dew is delicious when it’s vine ripened and slightly warmed in the sun.
At least it’s not cantaloupe. Fuckin gross musky bitch-melon, that is.
Or a butternut squash. Those things aren’t buttery, nutty, and with how fibrous they are, squashy. It’s the “Greenland” of fruits.
Honey, do this. But we can’t elope.
In Australia it’s called Rockmelon.
Read Genesis as a tale of solar system and earth formation, followed by animal evolution, then human evolution. For an origin myth, it’s by far the closest to reality I’ve encountered.
“Let there be light!”
Solar ignition.
“Let the waters bring forth swarms of living creatures…”
First animals created were in the sea! They brought in the birds way too fast though. :)
They got the order of events mixed here and there, but if you squint real hard, you can see it. But Adam and Eve’s fall from grace really nails it.
There they were, walkin’ around butt naked, eating whatever they wanted, no problems. Then they decide to eat from the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil, and the troubles begin. They are cursed to spend their days toiling for food (beginning of agriculture), Eve is cursed with painful childbirth (we evolved big heads because we got that Knowledge).
They suddenly develop problems that animals don’t have; shame of nakedness, knowledge that they’ll die, struggling with morals, enmity between the sexes, etc. Cherry on top, they can’t go back to monke.
CAVEAT: The version you read makes a difference. Whatever I’m cribbing off now isn’t as clear as the last time I wrote about this. Also, there’s a second creation story in the same damn book! Chapters 2 and 3 are a beat-for-beat repeat of 1. Who edited this mess!? 🤦🏻♂️
All day everyday I just assumed it was Durian and they died from extreme projectile vomiting.
I mean, the comic is fun and all, but those melons are super tasty too (and expensive where I live).
