What kind of melon? We have fantastic watermelon here if you get it in-season and local and I've been pretty happy with cantaloupe and honeydew. A lot of problem is Americans have no clue what in-season fruit is and don't buy local.
NC has a bounty of fruit and vegetables available locally grown:

That said, the pricy melons are usually bought as gifts, not eating yourself. Compare with eg. high-end whiskey.
- js2 6y agoI'm very happy with my $3 honeydew in season so I don't think I want to ruin that by having $100 melon. Ignorance is bliss! (I'm also pretty happy with $30 bourbon compared to what single-malts are up to these days.)
