Today's debate: muskmelons, or cantaloupe- depending where you are from.
R. came home with 2 when he went after some corn selling for $1.50/dozen today. Muskmelon is not on my list of edibles. He is on a gang-up-on-mom campaign, coaxing everyone to eat it. So far it's boys against girls. JR tried it and decided he likes it. JS tried some and said "It's not bad. It's not exactly good, but it's not bad." His previous experiences with it were at potlucks, probably not of the vine-ripened variety. A. tried it, too, but is sticking with her previous opinion. I have tried it often enough in my lifetime to know I do not like it- really do not like it. I would have to be stranded on a desert island with nothing else to eat for a couple days before I'd resort to muskmelon.

*humph* she says, "if you would just eat canteloupe (NOT muskmelon) you would change your mind". How can you NOT like them? I didn't know that anyone didn't! :) If I just cut up one, we have to ration it out here. :) Sorry fer ya.
Cheryl, I'm with you 100%. I've tried and tried to like them (muskmelon or cantaloupe, whatever you want to call them) and I CAN'T! Not one bit. Every time I eat some, I think, "What a wast of time and taste buds!" I completely relate to the island thing. :) Glad to know I'm not alone.
Carolyn, I'm just glad someone can enjoy them! :)
