Cantaloupe or Muskmelon?
Cantaloupe was named for a castle in Italy. Real cantaloupe is from Europe and is not exported. American cantaloupe is technically called muskmelon; the fruit was probably introduced to North America in the sixteenth century. Cantaloupe should have a netting appearance on a beige-colored skin when it is ripe.
