Rockmelon

[samvara]

Had another go at eating rock-melon today - it's the closest thing I've ever experienced to the taste of nausea. Might put off the next attempt for a couple of years.

I have that feeling about fresh paw paw.

See I understand not liking the taste; that's how I feel about raw green capsicum; but the taste is not that bad, it's the after-taste/feeling that's awful.

Paw Paw for me is less taste, more feeling that I have as I eat it. IT's weird, so I don't eat it often. But I can eat dried paw paw just fine.

The dried stuff is great - I really, really like dried pineapple.

The dried stuff is great in small pieces - that grocer on William St in Northbridge whose name I can't remember sells big strips of dried pawpaw, and it makes my stomach feel wierd.

Your description of rockmelon pretty much fits mine of banana. :)

Merely reminded me of possibilities.

Could be the amount of 'sweet' used in the drying process.
Sugar can act as a preservative.
