I have a Korean melon!

[QSis]

Well, I HAD one. I ate it.

There are so many, many strange and interesting things in the huge Asian supermarket next to my store .... and I am fearful of trying lots of them!

However, this little melon looked as if I might like it, so I bought one.

It's about the height of a coffee cup, but narrower. After scooping out the seeds, I sliced each half in wedges, and ate it like a watermelon.

It was very sweet, like honeydew, but the flesh was firmer, more like an apple.

Probably won't get another one, but I enjoyed the experience of something new and wanted to share.

I've never seen one of those. Did it have a name? (Don't tell me it's George:whistle:).



Fruit is 0 points, right?

[QSis]

SS, all the signs in the store have Asian characters, and English words. The English words on this one were "Korean melon".

Yes, fruits are zero points. Never have I eaten so many fruits in my entire life!

If you wanna something weired, see if they have water caltrops. . .little devil looking things. I normally spend an hour or so just browsing around the Lotte near my house, so many curious things.

But I'm sure there is a joke in here somewhere......where is BT.......QSis has a Korean Melon.......hmmmmmm......

Kimchee and BT usually have good ideas about cooking with Asian ingredients.

nothing now have been planning a visit to the Spring Garden market as I do need some miso. I always end up coming home with a bunch of strange fermented bean pastes and stuff.
