FIREFOXES ARE NOT LITERALLY, "FOXES ON FIRE", AND I'M NOT A BEAR!!
Remember- International Red Panda Day is the 3rd Saturday of September.
Visit: http://redpandanetwork.org/get-invo.....red-panda-day/ for more info.A note: I will be migrating to personal journaling on Weasyl. I will post on FA, news and references more often.

https://www.furaffinity.net/view/55619625/ Here comes something that one would not see every day-
This time, let's have Emmy talk about it:
Well, it will not matter if you decide to let it ripen, it will still taste a bit like a tarty fruit. I was imagining that it will be like the honeydew or cantaloupe melons, but I would be right that it will be like cantaloupe-LESS in flavor however. I can agree with Emmy that it will taste like cucumber, and a little bit of tomato, but it would be more cucumber to my taste buds. The thing to know is that cucumbers are in the same biological family as the melons, so their characteristics can be similar. And well, we do have a cousin for the cucumber in terms of taste! NO, it was not at all sweet, but you can say that it is edible, anyway. Well, if you do compare it with the durian that I had earlier: https://www.furaffinity.net/journal/10840162/ , this one does have an allowable smell, but not really something that your gustatory sense would be pleased to have, especially the sweet area of the tongue. No, I did not throw up after eating this, but I would feel that this is more of a vegetable in terms of culinary sense. It is more of so-so; I don't like it, nor do not not like it, but if it is that you are struggling with diabetes and would like something that is less sweet, I could figure that this fruit would be for you. I do not know if the peel is edible, but I think it is as it is thin compared to the other melons and watermelon. So it would be soon that when I eat it whole on my last half, I think there is a benefit as you can get the fiber from there.
And do note that she said kiwano melon- THAT IS MY NEXT FRUIT TO TRY. BUT, nope, if there's those spikes on it, there would be no way I'd go house and home to eat the peel!
In the meantime, I can rate this fruit as the lower end- it is good, but I could use it for something else. Cook it? I could think so as it has some cucumber-y taste... If there are recipes for cucumber, this could be a replacement for something interesting... However, if it is to be eaten raw, Alfred would have a slight wince and raise an eyebrow if he ever tastes this one. In terms of the ISU former figure skating rating, I would say 4.8/6. Well, it can't go to waste, but I won't really have the torture of eating it as it is small.
So to give the standings of how the fruits I tasted are:
Like/love: Papaya/ Dragonfruit
OK: Durian (but good!)
Pepino (Bland)
HATE!: (nothing yet)
Keep in mind that this fruit is quite expenisve as I have paid for one, US$5.99! Well, it may not be worth the money to eat it again raw, but it was a good experiment on this one, and I don't feel sorry in eating it. At least I have a journal to go back to if I ever forget how it tastes, and you get to see my take on it.
