    I didnt think it was possible, but I love Alton Brown even more after trying this recipe! One of my alltime favorites, I cant wait for summer every year so I can make it. I love serving it to company because the combination is unlikely but surprisingly good.

    Tried it once with watermelon, honeydew, and cantaloupe in a nonstick skillet. The wok is the way to go. I prefer just honeydew but that's just me.

    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.

    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.

    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.
