Title: Found a cantaloupe in the parking lot.
Post by: tp4tissue on Mon, 27 August 2018, 11:12:56
Should I eat it ?

Could someone have purposefully poisoned this cantaloupe and left it there..

Hrrrrmm....

It looks perfectly fine on the outside..

Quite firm, not ripe yet..

Yeah, there are a lot of people with extra time and drugs who enjoy wasting their time on random acts of cruelty.

This might all be planned.

Tp picks up cantaloupe. Check.
Tp eats cantaloupe. Soon.

On the other hand, eh, just wash it off.  ;D

No you shouldn't eat it because cantaloupe tastes terrible.

I guarantee you it is a muskmelon and not a cantaloupe. No one would leave a $500 melon in a parking lot.

Yes. Cantaloupe is fine. You'll be fine. Just fine. Totally fine. Nothing will happen. Ever. Fine.

edit - Also.. if Honeydew then that's fine too. You'll be fine. Just fine. Totally fine. Nothing will happen. Ever. Fine.

So did you go for the risky melon grab or not? I don’t even wait. And when you’re a Top-Ramen Expert, they let you do it. You can do anything

Someone probably took a syringe and injected ricin laced with traces of polonium into the melon. Now tp has flu like symptoms.

I'm sure some random is going to inject $3200 per µCi element into a cantaloupe just to play a prank.

Melon and cantaloupe are only added to fruit bowls because they are cheap, no one actually likes them.

I think melons are relatively bland; and I kind of agree on the fruit salad comment. However; honey dew/cantaloupe  melon with some black pepper on top is really good, or water melon with some lime chili powder is pretty damn good as well.

Latin for sadden. D for emphasis on past tense. Although that's not true because here I am in the future and this thread still makes me le'sad. Coulda woulda shoulda had dat melon. Sad.

Some day, if you ever have a garden, plant a cantaloupe vine. I guarantee that you will be astonished at how superior a home-grown, vine ripe cantaloupe really is.

PS - harvest promptly because every creature in the vicinity will be competing with you for it

Agreed. I have some in my garden this year. They are small, but they have no perceptible green rind, just the skin and orange flesh. A couple of them were rather flavorless, but most have been perfectly sweet.

They are out of their melon! That's the only reasonable explanation. Melon at the peak of ripeness is where it is at, otherwise it's just OK or bland like what you get from the fruit platters you buy from any supermarket.

The supermarket take their leftover fruits, cut-um-up and make fruit bowls.

But if you buy the canteloupe,  give it a wait,  it ripens..

Makes a huge difference..

Vine-Ripe is better, but the only real difference is the amount of floral scent, the sweetness is equivalent.

A ripe cantaloupe from the farmers market is amazing, but a lot sold in stores aren't ripe so I can see how people might think they are tasteless or boring.

I think most people are just too much in a hurry

You wouldn't eat a green banana,  but with cantaloupe it's less obvious when it's ripen...

So what happened to the parking lot cantaloupe? Is it ripe or did you leave it an orphan to fend for itself on the mean streets?

Post by: fohat.digs on Wed, 29 August 2018, 16:13:32
A ripe edible fruit smells exactly like a ripe edible fruit.

A cantaloupe with no smell, like any other fruit that does not smell like it should, should be passed by. Some will continue to ripen on the kitchen counter, but some will not.

One exception is a watermelon which seldom seems to have any smell until you cut it.

That's how (by smell) the folks in my family gauge the ripeness of a cantaloupe. Seems to work alright for the most part.

Could have thrown the melon on the ground and the winner gets the knife. Would have been more creative.
