To add banana

The only two things that I consistently do not like are honeydew and cantaloupe. Most folks seem to love them, and I try them every few years just to confirm, but there is a sickly-sweet taste that puts me off.

 

I think I know what you mean, even though I like melons. But I have to say that I like them a tiny bit on the green side. Not really green, but with the flesh a bit crisp rather than soft and with less of that musky sweetness. 

 

I think I feel the same about papaya. Fully ripe papaya can be quite off-putting to me.  And bananas too, I definitely like them just a bit green-ish.
