Torpedo Melon


Though there are many different fruits and vegetables here, I think this one merits particular mention because of the comment it elicited from Lacey. The fruit on the inside both looks and tastes like cantaloupe, but the texture is harder, almost like an apple. We had eaten it a couple of times courtesy of friends, and since Lacey had enjoyed it I thought I would get one. I dropped it off in our room and then went to go work on some homework while Lacey was napping. Pretty soon I get a text saying, “Did you buy a dinosaur egg?” For whatever reason it had me laughing for several minutes on end, but I replied with its actual name, “No, it’s a torpedo melon.”
