Sensible folks, who love cantaloupe, will just do diligence, and wash the outside with bleach and water before cutting into the deliciousness found inside.
Enough with these alarms, already!
Doesn’t any sensible woman know how to “keep house” these days? If you haven’t managed to snag one of these rare gems, get busy teaching your beloved other that she is worth her weight in gold coins, if only she gets up on this “housewifery stuff”.
As the old song said:
Can she bake a cherry pit, Billy-Boy, Billy Boy?
I wash all my fruits and vegetables, but I never thought of using bleach. No way listeria could survive that; it’s also the only effective way to kill the parvo dog bug.
ah, for the edit function here on FR! particularly later in the evening.
“pit” = “pie”.
But so many of you are probably too young to even know the song, so I am just wasting pixels.
Men can’t understand how to cut open their own cantaloupe? Yikes! We are in trouble as a country.
I have never in my life washed the outside of a cantaloupe and I have never in my life caught anything from them. Obviously this is now added to my list of things to do, but I consider myself fairly well up on kitchen hygiene and this is not something I have heard of before.
