              Nothing like a fresh chilled one from the garden on a warm day.

                  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.

                          Most of ours are coming in from Mexico until the ones from the Rio Grande Valley are ready - should be soon

                            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

                          Good with ice cream in the middle. Use the canataloupe like a bowl and fill with ice cream. Good on a hot summer day.

                            LOL Cowboygrandpa

                            You sound like my husband! I banished ice cream from the house and all he does is complain that there is no ice cream to put on his canataloupe

                            On a really hot day try putting canataloupe in a blender with some ice - makes a great slushie

                              Cantaloupe is one of the foods I wished I liked. For some strange reason I like the smell of it, but cannot stand to eat it. It's weird, I know. For the people I love and know they love cantaloupe, I buy one, cut it up into bite sized chunks, chill it and give it away, they always seem to really appreciate that.

                                  Maybe you never had a good one. Some are bad and if you get a bad one, they are really bad. They might taste like a cucumber.

                                    I know what you mean,that's normal with many fruits and veggies, like I wouldn't even buy a tomato at the grocery, but can't get enough from my garden. I've had them from the grocery, from a garden etc, tried from a few different states, I just don't like them, not that I haven't tried through many years.

                                  Actually if you look hard enough you can find cantaloupe ice cream.

                                  I grow my own and some of them are so good, they remind me of cotton candy.

                                    Some people actually make home made cantaloupe ice cream.

                                    Make melon balls and freeze some of the extra from the garden. In a good year I will have a pickup truck load at least from a couple dozen plants. They keep rather well. I don't let them thaw all the way though. Eat them when they are still partially frozen.
