Cantaloupe...(better cold or room temperature?)

The correct answer for all fruit is room temp.

Or better yet, warmed by the sunshine in the field temp.

Cold just masks flavor.

One of my favorite fruit experiences is waking up in Florida and picking a grapefruit from the tree when it's 80+ degrees.

I guess it depends on the fruit and occasion. If I'm in need of hydration, nothing beats really cold bits of fruit. Apples need to be chilled for me to remotely enjoy them, but that's less the taste and more the refreshment.

I agree about the flavor. This is one of the reasons that top Japanese restaurants hold that dinner's fish at room temp. Fish fat actually melts lower than our body temperature. In other words, it will literally melt in your mouth when you eat it if the piece of fish isn't ice cold. That, and as previously stated, the flavors are more intense.

I can't say that I hate cantaloupe, but it's one of my least favorite fruit.

love all melons cold

I hate cantaloupe. Which sucks because I pride myself on liking most all foods. But to me it taste like feet. Carry on

Do you eat feet, Mr. Balls?

I chuckle when people say something tastes like shite for this same reason.

Speaking of Balls, people ask me if I know what the smell of moth balls are like. I reply that I don't know how to get my nose in between those tiny legs.

Carry on...

Pecos brand from the Rio Grande valley used to be my fav but I have not seen Pecos in my stores in a long time.

I keep them in the fridge, gonna cut up one now

I find it hard to take seriously the opinion of someone who engages in this type of hyperbole.
