Do you enjoy eating cantaloupes?

My noon snack today was a great-looking delicious cantaloupe! Do you find the color appealing? Can you taste it? Can you smell the particular fragrance?
They are now in season here. So I try eating as many as I can. It was mouth-watering and juicy from the first to the last bite. Yummy!
With all the seeds one cantaloupe has, I don't think they will ever vanish from the earth.
Do you enjoy eating cantaloupes?

I do like them but I like watermelon and honey dew melons better. I am eating a banana at the moment.

I also like watermelons and honeydew melons but the local ones are not available yet. I will get to them as they become available. I will have some bananas later. I wanted something real juicy as it is so hot here.

I like them very much. I eat them a lot when in season, very cold. I also like juices made with cantaloupe.

Yes, they are amazing! I think that I could eat 3 or 4 of them when they are good. Yes, there is a lot of good fruit in the summer. I like cherries when they are at their peak.

Cantaloupe is my favorite melon, of all. Second in line, I love the honeydew melon. They are wonderful!

Are you able to get really sweet cantaloupes in your area? Here, at times they have no taste. However, right now, they are simply delicious!

@kobesbuddy Yes, here too they are very sweet and I am able to get the ones grown locally and so they are much fresher.

@buenavida They had a lot of strawberries at the market but they were very expensive. The cantaloupes were 3 for 5$ Canadian and it was better deal for my money. Also I had to carry them on the bus and on the subway and the strawberries would have become jam.

Yes, there are a variety of melons and I like to eat a variety, especially when they are grown locally as they taste so sweet in comparison with those that come far away.

Nothing tastes better than watermelon on a hot day, at least for me, as I avoid ice cream because of the way it is made.

A watermelon is much bigger and the taste is very different. But it is a melon.

Yes, there are very good ones and ones that are not worth the money one pays for them. Right now, the local ones are available and they are very sweet and not too expensive. What kind of fruit that is good is available where you are?

@1hopefulman We have most of the same fruits, mangos, gold melons but neither of those have much flavor. Cantaloupe, watermelon, honeydew, the usual but I like certain fruits from certain states

Yes, people have different tastes to just about everything and it is the same in melons. I'm glad that there is variety of melons with each having it's own unique taste. Looking forward to the local watermelons becoming available.

I like them also but it has to be with condensed milk on top, for me to like it so much.
Just like @andriaperry I also like watermelon and honeydew melons more. Especially when the watermelon slices were placed on the freezer for about 1-2 hours - so refreshing and delicious.

You're right, cooling them down a bit does enhance the taste and makes them more refreshing especially on a hot day like today.
