My family didn’t ate melons, they weren’t opposed to them, but they never bought them, probably cuz they never fitted in the fridge, so growing up I just occasionally ate watermelons, and only tried melons a few time, which I didn’t like. It wasn’t a strong foul taste nor anything but it didn’t click with me.

So anyways last week I ate melon and I really liked it, it tasted exactly the same as I remembered it but I now love the taste.

I have always hated honeydew melon until I tried it in another country that actually lets their fruit ripen on the vine instead of in the truck on its way across the country. (I’m American)

Sometimes the way it’s grown and picked makes a huge difference, other times our pallets just change.

Glad you came around. I love honeydew. Far superior to cantaloupe.

Unfortunately I still don’t eat it in America, but if I’m ever in Japan again I will indulge.

Yes, this, I don’t remember eating greenish pulp, so the melons I tasted as a kid were unrippen probably.

But still, in broad terms it’s the same flavor, yet I now like it. Yet I now find a lot of flavors or tones, or whatever is called that I didn’t remember.

Try squeezing some lime on honeydew. It makes bad honeydew passable and good honeydew excellent
