RESPONSE>> Talk about Korean melon.

Have you seen yellow oval-shaped melons with deep evenly spaced white lines on them at the supermarket?

Those are called Korean melons or yellow melons. Koreans call them "cham-we."

The month of June is peak season for Korean melons.
ex> Fall is the peak season for Mt. Seorak.

Under their yellow skin, you can find crispy white flesh within.
* crispy: 아삭한
* flesh: 살, 과육

They taste just like cantaloupe but have a firmer texture.
* cantaloupe: 머스크맬론

When cut in half, there is a large seed cavity filled with seeds that are not usually eaten.
ex> My salary was cut in half.
ex> He was filled with extreme anger.

But some people eat the whole thing because the seeds are small enough to swallow.
ex> These pills are not small enough to swallow.

Plus, they are the sweetest part of the melons.

When you buy them, make sure you choose firm ones with a sweet aroma.

They go bad easily, so store them in the fridge.
ex> He asked me whether bottled water can go bad or not.
* fridge: 냉장고
ex> There is some leftover pizza in the fridge.


@ I could eat a horse.  뭐든지 먹을 수 있을 것같아
