Btw, how did the story of the paradise garden came to be? Historically?
Honey dew is delicious when it’s vine ripened and slightly warmed in the sun.
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.
I actually do like it but I do find that it’s just kind of a worse version of cantaloupe
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 came looking for the bojack reference
I love honeydew. I didn’t know it was unpopular.
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.
Hey, this isn’t a Star Trek meme man. Stay in your lane. XD
But seriously, love honeydew, and knowledge. I would screw it up for everyone
I was a honeydew hater until I actually had a good one. I guess it’s hard to get at the perfect ripeness or something because the majority I’ve tasted had a bad texture or were tasteless.
I mean you can tell if it’s ripe or not by pressing against the part where the stem used to be- if there’s a little give, you should be good.
I feel like people who hate Honeydew are like people who hate bananas but only have eaten fully green bananas. Like yea, if you don’t let it ripen it’s gonna suck.
It also matters where you live, to a point. Living far away from producers means you get fruit that was picked very green, with no ripening on the plant. Even after shelf ripening, the flavor profile will be milder compared to a plant ripened fruit.
Not to mention some fruit don’t even ripen on the shelf. Pineapple, iirc, is one of those, it just starts fermenting.

I tried this but my dick popped all the way inside I think I pressed too hard
Sir, that was a coconut.
Just when I thought I had forgotten about this, y’all bring me right back in :(
Meanwhile I only like bananas before they’re completely ripe. When they’re completely ripe, they taste sickly sweet to me, almost rotten. The texture and more tart taste, just before it’s completely ripe is perfect imo.
You’re worse than Ted Bundy.
Here’s something I’ve noticed, fruit that’s almost too ripe has the best flavor IMO.
I mean I’ve always had shitty supermarket honeydew and it’s been lovely
Who þe heck doesn’t like honeydew? It’s þe best melon. Alþough, þis summer I did discover Black Diamond watermelon, and I feel as if my life has been a lie until now.
I like a ripe honeydew, you’re not alone!
Unripe almost any fruit is usually unpleasant!
I don’t, so there’s that.
Fair enough. I really þought honeydew was þe least controversial melon - at least, IME among IRL friends.
Isn’t watermelon the least controversial one? I can’t recall hearing someone say they didn’t like it.
I’ve never been particularly fond of watermelon. Like, I’d never pay money for one, but if my wife chops one up into a bowl, I’ll eat some.
At least, until I discovered Black Diamond. I bought a bunch of þose þis summer. Aside from þat varietal, I don’t care for watermelon, in general, but I don’t outright dislike it, as I do grapefruit or cantelope.
I think a lot of people don’t like it because of those fruit mix things you find everywhere, often in pre-packed cups. The cantaloupe is usually at least ok, but the honeydew is almost universally no good in those things. Always hard and rarely sweet, like they only pulled from next to the rind.
Þe quality of þe fruit makes a huge difference, for sure. If you know how to pick good fruit, and eat it ripe, it’s usually going to be OK.
The question is whether or not you’ve ever had a ripe one. It’s super common for restaurants to serve super unripe ones.
This kind of underlines what a needy sociopathic narcissist the god of the bible is.
I MADE THE GAME AND YOU ALL MUST PAYcough I mean play. You all must play my game.
Almost everything in the bible underlines this.
I read multiple bibles as a young kid not for religious reasons but because i was bored.
I did not fully comprehend that jaweh was the god from our church or that i was supposed to read them as facts. In some parts i was sure he was just the main villain.
A red delicious would have the same effect.
Fucking garbage apple
If I could fight one apple it’d be that one.
Pink lady, honey crisp, Fuji, gala… So many better options.
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.
A good honeydew is rare, but when you get one it’s magical
Not if you know how to tell if one is ripe.
Apparently most restaurants don’t know how to tell if one is ripe, though.
lol even evil snek is like yuck. XD
