Honeydew vs. Cantaloupe

But surely we can all agree that kiwi are probably the worst of all fruits.

Shit. Kiwi are fine!

If you put that in a bowl without dressing it’s very very odd at the least. You are helping to prove my point!

You are usually served a salad without dressing on it. You choose to dress your salad. It’s a salad even without the dressing, a bland one, but still a salad.

No they always ask what dressing I want. You people are weird.

We just need to bomb Canada at this point. If not for the Macedonia thing, for this.

Wait... the "Macedonia" thing is true. What's the issue?

And kiwi sucks.

What did the good people of Macedonia ever do to deserve being linked with melon-filled fruit salad in Quebec?

Kiwi is fine by itself but always feels weird when combined with other fruit. For some reason a few years back the powers that be decided the public really, really wants to combine kiwi with everything else. It's 2nd behind bananas in the rankings of fruits that need to stay the fuck away from strawberry.

Hey - I've never met a Macedonian that I din;t like.

But then again, I have never met a Macedonian.

And further research reveals that "Macedonia" is a fruit salad in Italy and Spain.

No. We can't. Kiwi is awesome. Honestly, I've never heard anyone complain about it before.

Canadians...

This should be on a plaque.

Bananas and kiwi are pretty yummy on their own. Bullshit when put into a Fruit Salad (yummy yummy*).

* - Fuck whoever posted that. I didn't even need to play it for it to return to Ear Worm status. Played the shit out of that for my boy back in the day. I hate those guys.

This Kiwifruit Isn't From New Zealand at All. It's Chinese, and This Is How It Got Hijacked

Guess I'm in the minority here. Enjoy your Chinese gooseberries.

We can all agree cherries should never appear right?

mister d · Post by **mister d** » Sat May 18, 2019 10:13 pm

Yeah, should never appear if someone with good taste was given a two minute head start.

Drew Magary sells me out after years of thinking I was becoming him and he me.

"Matt:

I'm in an overly contentious argument with a friend about fruit salad. Does fruit salad have syrup/dressing on it? Or does chopped mixed fruit qualify as a fruit salad?

I don’t think I’ve ever had a dressed fruit salad, unless you count adding a sugar and maybe a bit of water to underwhelming chopped berries to help them taste like something. Otherwise, a fruit salad to me is just a bunch of chopped-up fruit with nothing else on it. I don’t need some hoity-toity balsamic glaze to make it an Official Salad. I’m not even gonna eat the thing anyway. I only have eyes for the bowl of barbecue potato chips at the other end of the spread."

Just take a ripe cantaloupe, slice it in half, dump a cup of mayonnaise on top and enjoy.

Add cheese and then warm it up in the microwave first though.

The only way I eat cantaloupe is with salt and pepper on it, as learned from my Louisville-born and bred dad. And I don't touch honeydew or watermelon. I was turned off from most fruit because of that abomination a page back called ambrosia.

Thanks, AB, for bumping this.

Which is better?
