In a place where jam melons (Australia)( in US probably called citron
melon)can not be bought (and it cost me a fortune in excess water).
You can not even buy melon and lemon or melon and pineapple jam any more.
Was told many years ago by fruiterer it was the fault of them furriners
who bought them thinking they were water melons or sugar melons who then
came back screaming their heads off, (in those days furriners were
Italians Greeks Maltese and various others after the war .)

Sure does look like a watermelon. Never heard of them but found more
information.

You could have tried looking it up before trying to make Mr. Murtz look
stupid because it sort of backfired on you.

Yeah right. That's a good story and you can stick to it, but I won't
believe it.

Well you must be a fruiterer yourself, Dave.
Maybe I did check out the word first and maybe I was
teasing him.
