It's a butterscotch melon! I had never heard of it before, so of course I needed to get one to try. It looks like a honeydew on the outside and a cantaloupe on the inside. It tastes a lot like cantaloupe.
I made a delicious little appetizer with melon, bacon, and baby swiss cheese (raw milk, of course!).
Tell me this doesn't look delicious. Restaurant-ready, even.
Of course, you could also use prosciutto, but I had bacon in the fridge so I used that. Plus, you could use a different cheese. I actually think some nice sharp parmesan would be fantastic. And cantaloupe would work, if you can't find the butterscotch melon. But I say, if you can find an unusual variety, why not use that?!
On a different note, I think everybody should check out this article in the New York Times, about how to use ALL parts of a plant. There are so many plant parts that get thrown away, but that could be turned into delicious treats!
