At my nearby Asian food market I saw a large display of
so-called Korean honey melons. Each one is about as long as a large russet potato, though greater in diameter. Kinda pricey at $3 for a pack of two. I never had one before, so I bought a pack. They are yellow with pale stripes on the outside. Inside, they are completely white. Easy to peel, and easy to scoop out the seeds with a spoon like a cucumber. The flesh is firm like a Red Delicious apple. It's sweet and has a subtle flavor that at first reminded of bananas, then cantaloupe. That's it -- it's like the flavor of a cantaloupe with the texture of an apple. Pretty good, but I won't be buying them regularly. If I make a fruit salad for a potluck, I might use them. I like using unfamiliar ingredients in potluck dishes, to leave people guessing what they just ate. |
