Current Events » My $140 Japanese crown melon is here
And it was like another $40 shipping. I've wanted to try one of these my whole life, and they finally legalized melon imports to the US a few years ago so I went for it

Doesn't seem ripe yet, hopefully in a few days I can try it though

As someone who loves fruit more than anything I can't imagine any world where this is worth $140 but to each their own.
Sig space for rent.
I am so happy for you....!

I'm pretty sure that thing just tastes like honeydew and you wasted almost $200 for it.

So the answer is obviously yes I support you.

It's got the skin of a cantaloupe

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/forum/9/923aa21d.jpg

But cantaloupe aside, I've eaten a bunch of different melons in all shapes and sizes from my local Korean/Chinese/Japanese importer supermarket and every single one tasted like honeydew.

The small ones were great for when you want a melon without having to eat something honeydew sized.

As far as I can tell "crown" melon is just a luxury branding for elon musk melons. . It's not even like the square watermelons that have novelty aspect.

Hope its taste lives up to its price.
that's a very expensive cantaloupe

Yes, but it's still honeydew.

Muskmelon is a pretty vaguely defined category, it can include cantaloupes and a ton of other types of melons. It wasn't rly important to me that this was a crown melon, but I really wanted to try a green flesh melon w/ netting that honestly doesn't seem to have a colloquial term

I'd rather buy $800 jeans than a $140 melon.

All jokes aside, enjoy that melon and hope this topic is around long enough where you can give a detailed breakdown once you give it a try.

Enjoy it.

Life is too short to deny yourself these little pleasures.

Let in the refugees, deport the racists.
All the back and forth aside, in the summer I really love eating both cantaloupe and honeydew. I don't like to eat regular meals at work when it is stupidly hot and I like to stay hydrated so I find myself sometimes just eating some honeydew/cantaloupe or some watermelon. I tend to mix honeydew and cantaloupe together for a little variety. I prefer cantaloupe more than honeydew but both are good.

It's good, full of juice, and nice and cold so it is enjoyable to eat when it is that hot. It also doesn't taste overly sugary like some fruits tend to.

I can support you tossing money away on something to try. I have a lot of disposable income and my one area I am not that frugal in my life is with food but despite all that I don't think I would spend that kind of money for a melon when I know how much I love cantaloupe and can pick one up for like $2. There is no way this thing is 90 times better at $180 total cost. But I totally support you going for it.

As long as you aren't spending money that should be spent elsewhere, and it's something you truly want, do what makes you happy.

I spent around $350 on Chrono Trigger for SNES a few years ago. I could have just played the Steam version, but I wanted the SNES cart.

I'm kinda interested in hearing how it tastes.

I've had super expensive table grapes before (a cousin bought a giant batch for gifts and he ran out of people to give them to)

It was really good, in the sense that it was amongst some of the best grapes I'd ever eaten... but I wouldn't pay the asking price which was something like $6 a grape.

Having said that I still remember those grapes like ten years later so maybe it was worth it.
Ive never seen one of those outside a video game.

I had to google super expensive grapes and some of those do look really good. especially the red/pink japanese ones

I grew up on a small farm but our little grape patch was only regular green and purple grapes

I immediately felt judgemental seeing this topic then had to remind myself that on my first trip to Japan I spent $800 on strawberries so Im a big filthy hypocrite.

How where they?

Fucking incredible, which is why I ended up spending so much. They were $40 per strawberry, so I initially got one for me and one for my (now) wife, mostly to be able to say that wed tried them. Strawberries is something I thought we were pretty good at where Im from so I didnt expect to be blown away but they were bloody fantastic. Like an orgasmic food experience. So we went back and got more immediately, and then also stopped back there for the next two days, and ended up buying 20 in total.
Post #45 was unavailable or deleted.
When I saw the box I thought it was some new type of fancy Crown Royal, so $140 sounded right.

Is there whiskey in the melon?

How much do the seeds cost? >_>
idk, i actually don't see any for sale when i do a quick search. I'll def preserve the ones I get out of this melon, but I don't have the means to grow it where I live. I'd happily send them to someone who wants to try though
