 Tudor and Elizabethan England (thanks to good corsetry) had loads of
plump, juicy melons ripe for the viewing...

 Saluti!
 I am going to have to haul out my copy of Gerard and go through it,
 but I thought I would ask here also.
 Anybody have any info on people eating melons in England - whatever
 period? Someone suggested that Watermelon & cantaloupe would be good
 at my upcoming feast and I think it would go over well. But now I
have
 to figure out if it is period for the region.
 England is not my strong suit - but I know that it is for some of
y'all!
 Thanks,
 Serena
