I Had Good Luck With Canaloupes

John B. · Aug 31, 2013

Here's a few pictures of some of the canaloupes from my garden this year. I had one the same size and weight last year. This one check in at almost 30" circumference and 14 lbs.

Looks awesome!!

Husband and I went bummin' today and bought a small one at a stand. They had samples and the flavor was good.

I like to serve cantaloupe with black pepper sprinkled liberally on top.

Papa Melon is too hard. Momma Melon is too soft. Baby Melon is just right.

My Wife likes them the same way. I didn't think there was anyone else that.

I always carry a big bowl of cut up melons when I go out on the boat. We eat on it all day long. Funny thing is its about the only time I do eat it. Must be something about being on saltwater that makes me want it. Those are some nice looking melons. I've got to pick up a couple tomorrow for my boat trip Monday

Cracked pepper? Never did that. Always ate ours with salt.

I agree.. Pepper on cantaloupes and salt on watermelons..

The Muskmelons ARE doing quite well this year.Never did figure out this cantalope thing.A cantalope as I understand it is a French melon.

RBnSC,
Don't know why - that's just the way my parents taught us to eat it.

I'll have to try some black pepper on a piece next time I eat some. When I was brought up we always put salt on ours and I still do today.

Anybody ever eat them just plain, no salt, no pepper?

SweetFeet · Sep 1, 2013

Dr. Walt,

Yes, I will eat it plain too - and it is good. Just prefer it with pepper.

Get a real good ripe one, put it in the fridge, good and cold. Dig out the seeds and fill the cavity with good homemade vanilla ice cream. MMM MMMMMM ....James
