    Glad you like it! When I found cocozelle yesterday, I was immediately diverted to gourds and melons. I suspect more are lurking, probably in Asian markets.

    I saw things called galia melons from Brazil in the supermarket yesterday. Probably fruit.

    There's also bitter gourd or bitter melon, same momordica I think; apparently cerasse in Jamaica but reggae gives me a headache.

    Thanks, Bilby! (Momordica is a genus name, for those who might be wondering).

    In Australia they sell something called a champagne melon which is like a watermelon with a pale yellow colour. Tastes quite yellow.

    Yeah, the champagne melon stand is right up there next to the pademelon booth.

    I had a sprite melon once. It was tasty too! Cute little thing, yellowish skin with rather smooth ridges, smaller than a small cantaloupe. I don't know if that's their real name or some marketing thing, but... there it is.

    Cool, bilby: with a guinness melon and a champagne melon, we could concoct a black and tan melon, an exotic hybrid with strong anti-Republican tendencies.

    c_b, did you just link to sprite? How subtle of you.

    We have to teach the children, uselessness. :-P

    I think I've seen champagne melons here, too. Sadly, though, no cabernet or pinot noir melons.

    Not a glamorous name but winter melon/wintermelon belongs here.

    What about a Canary Melon? I had a couple of tasty ones during the summer.

  • mollusque commented on the list gourds-melons

    Thanks, frogapplause, but I'm only adding single words names for melons.
