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.

Yes, the NSFW tag is purely for clickbait purposes

I had the opposite experience. We would have melons with dinner quite often when I was a kid and now I don’t really care for them

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

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.

Can confirm. I hated tomatoes until my mid 20s because my mom never seasoned them because “salt is bad”, made me give every food i disliked another try, grew up extremely picky and now i eat everything.
