I enjoy a good ripe cantelope, but for some reason I never liked the flavor of watermelon. I grew plenty of both as a kid helping my Dad with his garden. Perhaps that's why I have little interest in gardening now.
I like both, but there's nothing like the flavor of a big honkin' Indiana-grown musk melon (canteloupe). Night and day difference between those little softball-sized "canteloupe" that groceries normally carry.
