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.
I feel like I needed to wait for my prefrontal cortex to properly develop in my late 20s before I found I liked lots of foods I’d hated or refused to try as a kid.
Peanuts are good. And cashews. And onions. And ragu.
Don’t like mushrooms though, no matter what. 🍄
Have you tried yeast extract/flakes? it’s great to add “meaty” flavor to veggie stews and well, I tried using it in everything lately
Naturally ripe melons are awesome. One of my fondest summer memories was eating giant cold Xinjiang watermelons on a hot sunny day
Retry everything! There’s so many things I thought I didn’t like, half the time it was just the way it was prepared or the kind of day I was having. Also, taste buds literally change as you get older.
