Which brings up an interesting point.. wth are you supposed to do with the lettuce in their fruit bowls? Obviously you don't eat it by itself... and lettuce + strawberry yogurt must be an aquired taste... :p

Isn't cantaloupe also called "MUSK" mellon? Like it smells like my ol man on sunday?

Yup. Actually, most cantaloupe sold here in the US is actually musk mellon and not cantaloupe.

Yep, saw that on Elton Brown.

By the way, I love Musk mellon and honeydew in a hot fruit salad with red onions and a little bit of apple cider vinegar. MMMMMMM
