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

about 1 year ago frogapplause said:

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

about 1 year ago mollusque said:

Thanks, bilby! Added.

about 1 year ago bilby said:

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

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.

about 1 year ago uselessness said:

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

about 1 year ago sionnach said:

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.

about 1 year ago chained_bear said:

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.

about 1 year ago bilby said:

You hankerin' fer a guinness melon?

about 1 year ago sionnach said:

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

about 1 year ago bilby said:

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

about 1 year ago bilby said:

Couple of Tagalog words for you: upo's a kind of calabash, kundol is a long gourd I think.

about 1 year ago mollusque said:

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

about 1 year ago bilby said:

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.

about 1 year ago mollusque said:

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.

about 1 year ago skipvia said:

Cast off the shoes! Follow the gourd!

about 1 year ago reesetee said:

Oooh...very nice!

about 1 year ago chained_bear said:

Love it! Great list title too!
