A recipe you should NOT try!

Hi all! Never been to Prince Edward Island, but I see a lot of familiar faces! Thanks for pointing me in the right direction! I have to tell you this. I was watching Everyday Italian over the holiday. She was making what looked like a great way to get veggies AND fruit in at the same time, without having to chew the heck out of them. It was called Proscuito (sp?) and Melon soup. Served cold. Well....it has cantalope and whole canned tomatoes in it. Puree together and top with crumbled proscuito (again, sorry for the spelling). It was the most awful thing I ever tasted in my life!! It looked ok but could have passed for vomit and I couldn't get past the smell! It smelled like rotten fruit. I tried it several times trying to make myself like it, but I just couldn't do it. It all went in the garbage. So, unless you like melon and tomatoes...don't ever try this. Maybe some of you have and like it, if so, that's great! Just had to share about my recipe fiasco.... Have a good day Karen

Hilarious, Karen! I like all of those things, but I don't think mixed! ha Some of her recipes, just don't hit it for me! Her toothy smile, and low cut tops, get to me a little too. My, am I feeling *itchy, today?! Great to see you here, Karen!

LOL! Yup, she's almost too perfect! Her voice kind of drives me nuts.

OMG! That sounds HORRIBLE! I wouldn't have even tried to make it. YUCK! You are one brave soul. LOL Thanks for checking us out here on our little "island".

I like to try new things, but that just wasn't it. The proscuito, that is horrible stuff!! I never tried it before last night, it was like chewing on shoe leather.

Sometimes it just looks better on TV... I'm sorry it was a waste!

What really is disappointing is that, on my Alaska cruise this past June, they served several incredible cold soups (strawberry and peach and something else, kiwi maybe?) that were absolutely incredible. No one wanted to give me the recipe so I don't even know if they were healthy but they tasted wonderful! Melon? Nope. I can't do that.

{Karen} HI DARLING!!! Oh I had to laugh, my hubby is in love with Giardia (whatever the heck her name is!), but short of Nutella, some of her recipes are yucky! LOL I can't imagine what this combo was supposed to do for you, but I give you an A+ for trying, it sounds horrifying!!!

This is just sooo fuuny melons and tomatoes do not mix ...And I am Italian too!! I also wacth the Italian cooks on the food channel, but i really watch what they are making ,many things I would not care to make for us .. They are always trying to come up with something new but some of these combinations are Yucky!!I love to cook and bake but you really have to be carfeul about what they push on these shows .. if it don't sound good it usually ain't.... cold soups just do not turn me on anyway not even thercold summer soups or the pumpkin soups ... I am making a nice big pot of beef and vegetable soup today nice and hot!!! Sorry about your disapppointing results after you went thru so much work and spend all that money just to wa**** down the drain!! ....,,
