Couldn't get the story to come up but cantaloupre is one of those things that I hated along with alot of other things when I was a kid. I wonder if one can eat to much ot some of these things because the wife and I have no problem getting rid of one. I used to think that anything healthy tasted terrible but I was wrong.

  Where do you guys get cataloupes from up there? Around here (MO) they come mostly from California. In a previous life, I also ate cantaloupes from New Jersey.

    chevydog:
    I know Del Monte used to get some of theirs from Salome AZ.
    I lived there for a while in the 90's.

    chevydog- alot of our fruit and veggies come from California but for a while in the fall we have access to locally grown ones.

      Just curious. Some years ago I accidentally smuggled some fruit across the border at Sarnia--forgot that it was in the cooler. Think that it was supposed to be quarantined. I wondered for a few weeks whether border agents were going to come and cart me off.
      How easy are CA 'lopes to get across the border? Do Canada authorities have agreements with the growers? Or aren't they worried about non-domestic pests on these particular fruits?

        I think that when the grocery stores import fruit and vegetables it is done through an import agency and the food is all inspected when loaded on the trucks and the trucks are sealed. I don't think that I am allowed to take fruit or veggies down or bring them back, I know with meat I couldn't take a package of hamburger down if I just go for a camping trip. One thing I must say is that I'm glad that we have a fairly good trade relationship with your country, it makes the selection of food excellant all year round, imagine strawberries in January who would have tought it.

    I'm in Illinois and I grow my own. Why don't you grow yours?

      They grow great in OH.
      I prefer Muskmellon though. They get much larger than loups
