冰糖籽甜瓜 (Muskmelon)

(This photo was taken with an iPhone and so the quality suffered unfortunately - phones are not cameras)

 

What tastes like a cantaloupe, shapes like a watermelon and has stripes like a cucumber?

 

This breed of muskmelon I found in a supermarket in Shanghai.

 

It turns out it is a special new breed from the city of Weifang (潍坊) in Shandong Province.

 

Purportedly to be enjoyed with the skin as well.
