I thought I was the only person in the world who disliked the prevalence of melon in fruit salad!
I actually thought so too, but I think it is a case of "I'm wearing a rubber glove on my head right now..."

I also dislike tomatoes, but not in sauce, just raw ones.

I'm not sure about cilantro, which either means I don't notice it or I abhor it. Cumin is horrible, though.
At some point I wondered if I was a supertaster, but I think it's actually more about smells. I mean, I know a lot of taste is smell anyway, but that seems to be the sticking point. I can't stand the smell of bananas, but I like banana-flavored things. I had a bite of someone's banana split once -- I was trying to just get the ice cream but accidentally got a bit of banana and didn't realize till I was chewing. And then I realized that since it was cold, there wasn't an odor, so it was fine.
Sadly, supersmeller isn't as appealling a description as supertaster.

I dislike most tomatoes raw, but that's becuase they are almost never true, ripe, in-season tomatoes. I adore the raw heirloom tomoatoes I've tried, though.

I'm fairly melon indifferent. I don't hate it, but I generally see it as filler in a fruit salad--something that could be replaced by more interesting, tasty fruits.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Hey New Yorkers -- how good do you think the odds are that Whole Foods will have kosher-for-passover candy or something? Is there someplace else not on the LES or in Brooklyn I should go instead? I need a hostess gift, and am trying to figure out how much looking I'll need to do.

Hugs cumin laden bowl of chili closely. Unless it's that craxy Cincy faux-chilli, in which case I fling bowl across the room in disgust.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

I'm sure they will -- I'm guessing most grocery stores have a kosher-for-passover aisle this week.
What about a bottle of kosher wine? Everyone at the seder has to drink 4 glasses, so you know it won't go to waste. (And there's *much* better stuff out there than Manishevitz these days.)

Cumin stinks, but adds extra bite to ground meat (and guacamole) if used sparingly.

I like melons, but don't like tomatoes.
