You know why I eat you first? So that the honeydew, watermelon, grape, and pineapple wash your taste away and leave me with nothing but positive afterthoughts concerning my meal.

No one loves you, cantelope. You are the unfavorite. Even papaya is better than you, once it's dried.

I'd rather eat starfruit than more cantelope on its own. Hell, I'd rather eat plantain.

Where did you go so wrong, cantelope? Why couldn't you be more like your brothers and sisters? Why?

How about durian?

Go bathe in a volcano.


Just because you can't hang with the 'lope, it don't mean it's the one with the problem.

Didn't see durian on the linked site. Is durian a "trope" fruit? All I know is it smells pretty bad. When I lived in Thailand I got durian instead of mango with my sticky rice once. Never made that mistake again!

It smells like a Civil War field hospital with an open sewer in the middle of it and a charnel pit at every corner.

LOL I know. When we used to go on visa runs to Malaysia there'd be signs in the hotels "No durian past this point." (sometimes)

because of the way it is digested, Cantelope should be eaten first - otherwise, it will sit "on top" of other food in your digrstive tract, where it ferments in a bad way, and produces all kinds of toxins

Mmm. Honeydew. It's so unassuming and un-colorful, but the taste is delicious...

Mmmmm...Cantaloupe....

Seconded...


I despise Cantaloupe. Never could get used to the consistency.


Durian, the one fruit that's made me spew.

One of my best friends loves cantaloupe, but had to give it up because he was allergic to it.

My wife buys cantaloupe, strawberries, and sometimes pineapples and pears. But cantaloupe like crazy. If only I could get pears that weren't hard as a brick more often.


Sometimes you just can't elope. It happens to the best of us, but wind up broke because we listened.

Hmm. Melons are actually one of the few fruits I can eat raw. Anything with a core or pit makes my throat swell up unless it's been thoroughly cooked. I miss plums the most.

Now that surprises me. I learn something new. ;)

The wink makes me think there is more to that than I'm getting... Hmm... I'm going to assume that it was perverted and laugh like I got it.

LOL!

Anyway, I shouldn't have said "one of the few", since in reality, the majority of fruits are safe for me (not just melons, but citrus fruits, berries, bananas, and grapes).

Cantaloupe kicks honeydew's ass and then runs off with his girlfriend.

My four-year-old son agrees with you, so you must be right.

I like melons.


Melons are great, but surely not as great as the peach.


If I were James, what would I do with a giant peach? If I were Tracy Morgan, I know what I'd do with a giant peach. I'd take it behind the building and ...

Put one average sized melon in the microwave for about 3 miniutes, cut a 2 inch hole were the steam was and have fun.

I concur. I grew up on cantaloupe, honeydew is just.... eurgh. No thanks.


Have I mentioned that I like melons?

And... is that a BAD thing or a GOOD thing?


Ah, cantelope, my old nemesis. I despised you for years, but you slowly tempted me into accepting you. Finally, after I'd come to terms with you and accepted you, you backstab me with rashes, hives, and itching! Foul betrayer! I banish you and your conspirators strawberries, watermelon, kiwi, and bananas to the outer planes!

You can be allergic to bananas?

Dark Archive Owner - Johnny Scott Comics and Games

Yes. I recently became allergic to bananas (within the last year). No clue why. I love 'em, but can't eat 'em unless I want to spend the day deathly sick to my stomach within 5 feet of a toilet. (Thank God for that free 5 foot step...)


Take 1 water-melon and 1 bottle of vodka cut hole about the size of vodka bottles lid in water-mellon. Stick the vodka bottle in hole so vodka drains into water-mellon. When the vodka bottle is empty (can take some time), take the watermellon and chill it, when chilled, get totally smashed into oblivion with vodka water-mellony goodness.

I can vouch for this deliciousness. I did this in preparation for a Jimmy Buffett concert about 10 years ago, brought the melon into the venue, and had a grand old time!

Ah, the vodkamelon. Just one more way to improve upon nature...

Alcoholic Jelly (I think you Yanks call it Jello) is also lots and lots of fun.

Tip:
Do not do pour the alcohol into the Jelly straight after you pour the boiling water in, as the alcohol evaporates and you end up with some very expensive alcohol flavoured non alcoholic jelly.

Wait until it cools to room temp.
