I ate melon while in France

This is what I hope heaven is like

"What type of melon?" No one actually cares what melon I ate, but this could be a good segue way into describing melons in French.

Orange
Rouge
Vert
même jaune


Not actually though. Melons are a complicated matter in France, you will find, as you eat your way through pastéques, miellats, and, wait, really, melons.

Pastéque = watermelon
"Mais le bouton, c'est la taille d'un pastéque !" = "But your pimple, it's the size of a watermelon!"

Miellats = honeydew
"Miellats ? C'est quoi ? Je pense qu'il y en a pas en France." = "Honeydew? What's that? I don't think it exists in France."
*Miel = honey

Melon = cantaloupe
"On sert du melon comme hors d'oeuvre" = "We're serving cantaloupe as an appetizer"

However, in my year in France I only ate cantaloupe, I think I saw one watermelon once, and as far as I could have known honeydew was just some British guy who posts videos on Youtube.
