Pear Melon

These are pear melons, which we bought at the fruit and veg market recently. Hopefully the apple shows you the size of them. The flesh is yellow, like a honeydew melon, but firmer, more like a pear. There are lots of tiny seeds in the centre, just like a melon, but we felt they made the taste a little bitter. The motley yellow skin peels easily and we chopped them up to put in a fruit salad. The taste, although similar to a cross between a melon and a pear, is a bit odd.
