Found a tasty new melon yesterday -- approximately cantaloupe sized, a bit more oblong, and bright canary yellow. Very sweet whitish flesh. Apparently you should look for ones that are softish on the end and fragrant -- mine was a touch overripe, but it was so juicy and sweet that spleen and I just stuck our faces into the melon slices and gnawed. Yum.

Hadn't heard of that fruit before. Very juicy, sweet and flavorful.
I had a Juan Canary melon for the first time yesterday. It was sweet and delicious. It reminded me of a honey dew but with a better flavor and texture.
