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.

Mm. It's not exactly my favouritest thing ever, but I like it so much more than watermelon.

And also, I just want to leave comments in your LJ, so our two star-system icons can talk to each other.

I have that feeling about fresh paw paw.

I can't stand roackmelon either. Taste, texture, smell all VERY off putting.

I can still remember when I got appendicitis and being sick? stupid? young? decided that what I was feeling just must be hunger pains and forced myself to eat rockmelon (which I didn't like even then) and wheatbix, and then slowly throwing it all back up again. >.<

Horrible horrible fruit.

You summed up the taste well. Thank you for that.
I would say paw paw tastes almost the same, only peppery. Peppery nausea....eeewww.

You people seem odd to me - I've yet to find a fruit that I don't enjoy (puns expected).

Yet I find the smell of hot butter unappealing, though not quite nausea inducing. Same thing with cooking meat, except that I can tolerate it from about an hour after I wake up. Might actually be related to how full my stomach is.
