or even strawberries, which are not melons.

Well spotted on strawberries not being melons - that I have done, and it 
does work.  I do prefer cantaloupe over honeydew, so next time I have 
that, I might just give that a try.

Honeydew was the only melon that was available when I was young. 
Watermelon is nice in a salad and it keeps you regular.

You should really start to read the judgements made against you. I ruled

no longer in Huff.
