<<< Otherwise, "The time and place of emergence of sweetthought to have reached Europe from the east near the end of the 15th century.” >>>

What other kinds of melons are there, than “sweet melons”?

I’m probably biased or just unknowledaged, because about the only melon I’ve like so far is watermelon. But are there sour melons? Or bad tasting melons? Or salty melons or some such?
