***The origin of cantaloupes***
In some Sunday column a long time ago, I read that cantaloupes were bred for Spanish nobility, that they were highly prized and not deseminated.
In a more recent such column, a chef lamented the development of a technique to grow truffle mycillium--though not the fruit bodies. An oil prepared from this can be added to food and now anybody can have truffles. "We will just have to find something else," he said.
