    Where I live, we can get good mangoes, so they may win. But a good watermelon is my favorite fruit, and the occasional perfectly ripe apricot or peach I have tasted were both better than mango, they are just never ripe in the shops here, picked too early I think so they go straight from underripe and hard as rocks to mealy and unpleasant.

      You can’t beat a good watermelon, but 75% of the watermelons I’ve had weren’t a good one, so they can be a bit of a gamble.

        Same with honeydew. Once you have a perfect one, 90% are so disappointing. But that perfect one… Oh my!

          Yes a good honeydew melon earns its name! If you can smell them in the store they are usually good. Same with cantaloupe. If you can’t smell it don’t buy it.
