When the weather's humid, that's my choice too. Otherwise honeydew. Cantaloupe varieties we get here are pretty bland in taste (smell great, though) so I don't like it all that much.

Depends. Do you have salt? If so, watermelon. If not, cantaloupe.

Yes. I have excellent salt that was bought in Kauai Hawaii. I spread a little of it out over a plate and dip my melon. does seem to work best on watermelon. maybe i'm all confused now.

The salt compliments the sweetness. That is the perfect way to eat it.

truth be told... there was pineapple in the mix in front of me also. didn't stand a chance against the melon. blueberries and strawberries too. parents brought it all over to us last night when we invited them over for dinner, and then they took us out to eat. I think the veggie chicken cutlet parmigiane scared them. there are more advantages to being vegetarian than people think.

Honeydew, hands down.

Needs to be properly ripened though, 9 times out of 10 they aren't right, but the one time they are.. delicious

Also, no carrots?

Cantaloupe when it's good is GOOOOOOOOD. Watermelon is always about the same. It's very tasty, but it gets old after a bit. I've never cared for honeydew.

? whaaat ?

I am so surprised at someone from the Apple and yes you bros from Jersey not even mentioning the Golden melons that taste like honeydew and cantalope mixed. Grown right in Jersey. That gets my vote. I'm going to Cowtown saturday and on the way getting me a few of them from my favorite roadside stand.

I say take some time to dice them all up... make a big fruit salad!!! I've got some cherries and blueberries mixed into the last pineapple I cut up... although for the Mrs's and I, blueberries are more of a breakfast cereal garnish (as are the bananas).

@Clark; I'm born and raised in NJ, worked farms growing up in Sussex County. I really dislike those hybrid cantaloupe / honeydew things.
