Ive had Alton's recipe before, but it is important to note that Muskmelons and Cantaloupes are not the same thing. Ive worked in a local North East supermarket for nine years, and I know a thing or two about produce. Muskmelons are like cantaloupes but have a "musky" taste and smell (sometimes the smell is overly "musky" and not enjoyable) and the skin is very soft due to the sweetness of the flesh. A Cantaloupe or "lope" is the normal type of orange fleshed melon that everyone consumes. A "lope" has a sweeter and firmer flesh that is brighter orange (unlike its slightly off color cousin know as the Muskmelon),con.
delicious

This recipe sounded too bizarre when AB presented it on a recent show but my 5 year old (who is enthralled with "Good Eats") gamely wanted to make it. Used 1/2 musk melon and 1/2 watermelon. Fresh basil and pan toasting the pine nuts are absolutely essential. Used a terrific French sheep's milk feta - complex and not too salty. Serve and eat it straight away - doesn't really "keep". Looking forward to making this salad with al fresco summer meals.
this is something!!!

i made this tonight for my bride & I, with some reserve I admitt, but let me asure you , A.B. has done it this time. It took a little time , I admitt, but beleive me its worth it. I used "cantalope" & Honeydew, came out sweet & delisious. I used fresh basil and I think that helped. i'll make this for company this weekend.
Different way to eat melon

This was a very interesting and different way to eat melon - the feta and pine nuts are nice in combination with the melon, and the red onion added some sweetness to my not-so-sweet-to-begin-with melon. I tried this with cantaloupe (or, as AB pointed, out, musk melon) and liked it, but I think it might be better with 1/2 and 1/2 musk melon and honeydew as he suggested in the show. Also, I substituted dry basil (can't really get fresh during a January snowstorm) but I bet it would be even better with the basil.
