https://www.furaffinity.net/view/55619625/ Let's bring out Matt Taylor again to discuss what I have tasted lately-
By now, if you are in the West Coast-where I'm at, the most likely store that you will find such fruits will be Safeway/Vons ( https://www.safeway.com ). If it is that I buy such a different fruit from a different store, I will let you know, but this is the default store that I would get such rare fruits for. I did try Lucky (Subsidiary of Save Mart: https://www.luckysupermarkets.com/ ), and they do not have such fruits, and so the company that would market what the company Melissa's products ( https://www.melissasfarmfreshproduce.com/ ) that carry such rare fruits, will be found in the Safeway companies, who is owned by Albertsons ( ...who believe it or not, did gobble up Lucky before it was merged with defunct Supervalu and Lucky returned again!: https://www.albertsons.com/ ) AND NOW...
>>>For something that would have to be costing nearly $4.99, it will have to be good-but not always! When I found this one, I had not known what to expect after tasting the bland pepino melon, but I did give it a sniff and I did find it pleasing to my nose. For me tasting this fruit, I did not eat the peel nor the pulp that is with the seeds and threw them away. The next time I eat this, I will see if it tastes better, but REALLY, it was much better than I expected! It would be a little bit less tasty than the cantaloupe, but there is a good blend that will make me want to buy it again!
Matt did say that there was a cucumber taste to this one, but I did not get that according to my taste buds. It would be better than that cousin of the cucumber, and I do taste it similar to cantaloupe and honeydew-almost together. It may be too that this melon is easier to get everything in your body as after peeling it, there is minimal leftover waste. It goes down easily, and it's quite juicy! As I do see it as nutritious as well, it may not be the only time that I will be eating it-only, I will have to wait a little bit for the price to go down.
Overall, I will rate it as 5.6/6, and I like it! So to update the standings of rare fruits I have eaten:
11: Cherimoya
10: Dragonfruit
9: Papaya
8: Passion Fruit
7: Mangosteen
6: Durian
4: Lychee (close to "MEH", but OK)
3: Kiwano melon (bit good)
2: Pepino melon (Bland)
1: QUINCE (RAW, BUT NEVER TASTED) (BAD!)
So if it is that there is an upcoming art of Alfred eating fruits as this can be cultivated OUTSIDE OF KOREA, I can guess that he can find this in a patch somewhere and enjoy.
