redbird: closeup of me drinking tea, in a friend's kitchen (Default)

On a whim, I ordered a "pepino melon" via Instacart; Wikipedia told me that it's not actually a melon, but tasted somewhat like honeydew and somewhat like cantaloupe, so I expected to enjoy it.

What I hadn't expected was that it wasn't melon-sized, but comparable to a middle-sized mango.

[personal profile] cattitude googled and found advice on how to tell when one is ripe, and how to eat it (raw, with a spoon). According to that, this one was ripe, so he cut it in half after dinner. I took a spoonful, and noticed almost no flavor, maybe a hint of cucumber. Cattitude and [personal profile] adrian_turtle agreed with me that it was bland; after they had a few more spoonfuls, we agreed it wasn't worth eating, and discarded the rest.

Ah, well. I like trying new foods, and don't expect to like all of them. But I regret not ordering a honeydew instead.
