Added. Mon, 02 Jun 2008 16:14:47 +0000 http://www.wordnik.com/lists/gourds-melons#comments http://www.wordnik.com/lists/gourds-melons#comments Not a glamorous name but <a href="/words/winter melon">winter melon</a>/<a href="/words/wintermelon">wintermelon</a> belongs here. Mon, 02 Jun 2008 13:48:40 +0000 http://www.wordnik.com/lists/gourds-melons#comments http://www.wordnik.com/lists/gourds-melons#comments We have to teach the children, uselessness. :-P <br /> <br />I think I've seen champagne melons here, too. Sadly, though, no <a href="/words/cabernet">cabernet</a> or <a href="/words/pinot noir">pinot noir</a> melons.

Fri, 21 Dec 2007 05:29:32 +0000 http://www.wordnik.com/lists/gourds-melons#comments http://www.wordnik.com/lists/gourds-melons#comments Cool, <a href="/words/bilby">bilby</a>: with a <a href="/words/guinness melon">guinness melon</a> and a <a href="/words/champagne melon">champagne melon</a>, we could concoct a <a href="/words/black and tan melon">black and tan melon</a>, an exotic hybrid with strong anti-Republican tendencies. Fri, 21 Dec 2007 04:34:20 +0000 http://www.wordnik.com/lists/gourds-melons#comments http://www.wordnik.com/lists/gourds-melons#comments I had a <a href="/words/sprite">sprite</a> melon once. It was tasty too! Cute little thing, yellowish skin with rather smooth ridges, smaller than a small <a href="/words/cantaloupe">cantaloupe</a>. I don't know if that's their real name or some marketing thing, but... there it is. Fri, 21 Dec 2007 04:00:05 +0000 http://www.wordnik.com/lists/gourds-melons#comments http://www.wordnik.com/lists/gourds-melons#comments You hankerin' fer a <a href="/words/guinness melon">guinness melon</a>?

Thu, 20 Dec 2007 23:31:55 +0000 http://www.wordnik.com/lists/gourds-melons#comments http://www.wordnik.com/lists/gourds-melons#comments In Australia they sell something called a <a href="/words/champagne">champagne</a> melon which is like a watermelon with a pale yellow colour. Tastes quite yellow.

Thu, 20 Dec 2007 13:20:23 +0000 http://www.wordnik.com/lists/gourds-melons#comments http://www.wordnik.com/lists/gourds-melons#comments Thanks, Bilby! (Momordica is a genus name, for those who might be wondering). Wed, 19 Dec 2007 01:35:35 +0000 http://www.wordnik.com/lists/gourds-melons#comments http://www.wordnik.com/lists/gourds-melons#comments I saw things called <a href="/words/galia melon">galia melon</a>s from Brazil in the supermarket yesterday. Probably fruit.<br /><br />There's also <a href="/words/bitter gourd">bitter gourd</a> or <a href="/words/bitter melon">bitter melon</a>, same <a href="/words/momordica">momordica</a> I think; apparently <a href="/words/cerasse">cerasse</a> in Jamaica but reggae gives me a headache. Wed, 19 Dec 2007 00:36:56 +0000 http://www.wordnik.com/lists/gourds-melons#comments http://www.wordnik.com/lists/gourds-melons#comments Glad you like it! When I found <a href="/words/cocozelle">cocozelle</a> yesterday, I was immediately diverted to gourds and melons. I suspect more are lurking, probably in Asian markets.
