The melons grown in Trapani are reputed to be the sweetest and juiciest in all Sicily and they are certainly the juiciest I have ever tasted. Here they are on sale this morning. [It's a pity about the graffito on the wall. ] I am told that the melons will keep all winter if hung from the balcony in old tights!
Love the pic of all those melons....a far better dispaly then the one at tesco's. One of my favorite fruits too
ReplyDeleteLovely photo WCLC. I don't remember these melons but I do love the Tuscan melons, which are really cantaloupe but sweeter. We get them here but I don't know if they are grown in Italy
ReplyDeleteHi, Sally. I could live on melons. Hi, jmb. I'm glad the photo is all right as I took it from across the road. I wasn't going to buy any of these melons as you have to buy a caseful from these roadside sellers and I couldn't possibly carry it. So I felt I had to take the photo surreptitiously.
ReplyDeleteDo they have to be clean tights?!
ReplyDeleteI have a honeydew melon in the kitchen at the moment. It has been there for about two weeks and I am waiting for some sign that is ready but it still feels rock-hard!
Liz, I never thought to ask that!
ReplyDeleteOutsize tights?
ReplyDeleteHi, WW. I should think so!
