Michael Posted July 23, 2005 Share Posted July 23, 2005 Safeway had melons on sale, and the only ones left at the Soviet location were Cassava. So I bought one, and chopped it up this morning. Not very tasty. What does one do with these things? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zoramargolis Posted July 24, 2005 Share Posted July 24, 2005 Safeway had melons on sale, and the only ones left at the Soviet location were Cassava. So I bought one, and chopped it up this morning. Not very tasty. What does one do with these things? Avoid them. It's actually a Casaba melon. Cassava is a starchy tuber. Look for a melon called Sharlyn next time--it's my favorite. They look a little bit like Casabas, but the Sharlyn is intensely aromatic with tender, juicy flesh. But if you have leftovers of the one you have, I suggest turning it into a smoothy, combined with some other, more flavorful fruits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thistle Posted July 27, 2005 Share Posted July 27, 2005 I was in my grocery store the other day (Sat.) & saw stuff they had never had before-fresh figs & lychees -of course, I didn't buy them, because I couldn't think of what to do with them, so when I returned today, they weren't there! Got a couple of white nectarines, but it's small consolation. I was wondering if the figs & lychees (should they reappear) would be good infused with a nice dark rum or some vodka, maybe with some spices? or does that sound too odd?
