However, we buy locally and organic only.

We don't buy anything mainstream anymore.

Post by: AdamH1978 on October 18, 2011, 05:13:02 pm: I have a strong dislike of cantaloupe so I don't need a new reason to stay away from it. Just the smell of cantaloupe makes my stomach flip flop. :sad1:

Post by: cloudsoup on October 18, 2011, 10:01:19 pm: i've actually never bought cantaloupe!
i like it once in awhile, usually in the summer
if i'm somewhere with a salad bar or something.

it doesn't seem like it's a very popular fruit.
good thing listeria didn't affect watermelon instead!

Post by: trucktina on October 19, 2011, 02:21:46 pm: They found the source of the outbreak, apparently. It was some old equipment, and a puddle of water nearby that was to blame.

Post by: sledgewig on October 23, 2011, 03:58:33 am: I like cantaloupe but haven't bought it in a while (since before the outbreak) due to the expense.

Post by: hicaniplay on October 23, 2011, 06:38:53 am: No it didn't stop us buying, but we only bought around... four? Because of expense. I don't know, I wasn't really paying that much attention and I haven't been the primary grocery buyer lately. I just needed to hear the general affected area and decide it probably wasn't in our stores. Not that I don't wash purchases before eating anyways. ::)
It did bring about some discussion and, later, some jokes though.

Yes I can live without it

Post by: rogery on October 28, 2011, 07:03:16 am: I don't eat cantaloupe often so it won't be difficult to pass up. I'll wait until the listeria issue is long gone before buying my next cantaloupe.
