They are not really tasty unless they are at their fragrant, room temperature best. When melon season comes along, I think I'll risk it.Psipsinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00116559647595861421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2248672736206204371.post-72873234354377199172008-03-27T20:30:00.000-07:002008-03-27T20:30:00.000-07:00"If I'm going to eat something from thousands of m..."If I'm going to eat something from thousands of miles away, it might as well be tasty, like chocolate. I have something of an economic equation in my head where the deliciousness of a product must outweigh the impacts of shipping it in from far away."<BR/><BR/>Yes indeed. I have been following the melon scandal with some amusement. There are huge discussions going on all over the blogosphere about the best way to wash a melon.

I won't pretend that I'm immune to produce out of season. I live in New England, and the season is short. Somehow it seems OK to buy veggies out of season - veggies are a necessity, right? But fruit? Fruit in the dead of winter seems like a luxury.Psipsinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00116559647595861421noreply@blogger.com
