Honeydew is good you freaks!
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.
At least it’s not cantaloupe. Fuckin gross musky bitch-melon, that is.
Honey, do this. But we can’t elope.
Or a butternut squash. Those things aren’t buttery, nutty, and with how fibrous they are, squashy. It’s the “Greenland” of fruits.
In Australia it’s called Rockmelon.
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.
I came looking for the bojack reference
I love honeydew. I didn’t know it was unpopular.
In Europe it’s super popular, often paired with Serrano ham. That said, I find the taste so incredibly vile and disgusting, I believe it may be something like that herb that tastes like soap to many people.
It is mostly liked you people. Although apparently the fruit are better in the topics than the ones we get here. I can’t eat it though. It just tastes like it’s rotting in my mouth.
This is like calling a lemon that yellow sour fruit. Eat more cilantro.
I wasn’t sure what it was called in English, thanks for jogging my memory.
The comment was meant to be a bit tongue-in-cheek. Stay fresh like Koriander. ✌️
Mint’s the fresh way to go.
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 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.
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.
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.
It made me stop buying oranges I’ll tell ya that much
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 I’ve always had shitty supermarket honeydew and it’s been lovely
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.
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 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 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 :(
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.
lol even evil snek is like yuck. XD
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.
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
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.
Read Genesis as a tale of solar system and earth formation, followed by animal evolution, then human evolution. For an origin myth, it’s by far the closest to reality I’ve encountered.
“Let there be light!”
Solar ignition.
“Let the waters bring forth swarms of living creatures…”
First animals created were in the sea! They brought in the birds way too fast though. :)
They got the order of events mixed here and there, but if you squint real hard, you can see it. But Adam and Eve’s fall from grace really nails it.
There they were, walkin’ around butt naked, eating whatever they wanted, no problems. Then they decide to eat from the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil, and the troubles begin. They are cursed to spend their days toiling for food (beginning of agriculture), Eve is cursed with painful childbirth (we evolved big heads because we got that Knowledge).
They suddenly develop problems that animals don’t have; shame of nakedness, knowledge that they’ll die, struggling with morals, enmity between the sexes, etc. Cherry on top, they can’t go back to monke.
CAVEAT: The version you read makes a difference. Whatever I’m cribbing off now isn’t as clear as the last time I wrote about this. Also, there’s a second creation story in the same damn book! Chapters 2 and 3 are a beat-for-beat repeat of 1. Who edited this mess!? 🤦🏻♂️
Honeydew is unpopular because when you buy cheap honeydew, they can include too much of the rind without you being able to tell until you eat it.
