Suddenly I'm happy that McDonalds ran out of their packaged cantaloupe that they offered me instead of apple slices.
However, my family is never buying presliced produce ever again.
Wait what country are you in? Your McDonalds has packaged Canteloupe?? Thats so awesome
This is getting a surprising amount of attention.
In the U.S., at least 230 people have been ill in 38 states… The tainted cantaloupe was also shipped to Canada, where 129 cases have been reported”
We’ve all seen much more dangerous things get little or no coverage.
Cantaloupe tried to warn you away with its nasty taste, but somehow people can't take a hint.
Always knew these trash melons (cantaloupe, musk melon, honeydew, etc) would come back to bite us in the ass.
That's what you get for eating that gross ass fruit.
In all seriousness, that does suck tho... fuck cantaloupes.
I hated cantaloupe until I tried a locally grown one off the vine, and holy shit. I get it. I understand what that god-awful unripe bitter orange Play-Doh is trying to be. And it's amazing.
Given the difference between store bought tomatoes vs locally grown... You might be on to something here.
There are so many foods that people claim not to like when they just haven't had a good one.
Except tomatoes. There are no good tomatoes. I've checked.
I felt this way about tomatoes for decades. Then my tastes changed as i got older, and I appreciate cooking with tomatoes more.
That said, age also brought histamine intolerance, which makes tomatoes once again off my menu 😩
Or maybe i used to hate tomatoes because of histamine load. Who knows. I'm rambling.
Canteloupe and prosciutto is amazing.
It's good if you know how to pick ripe ones.
