What type of melon is that? I don't think I've ever seen it. Do you eat the skin?
What an opulent feast, and such a breathtaking young bride! Thanks for sharing.
It is a type of muskmelon. I'm afraid I only know its Chinese name which is 香瓜 (xiāng guā) which literally translates as 'tasty melon' and it is. They are quite small - grapefruit size at most. Very fragrant and sweet. No we don't eat the skin.
