Food & Dairy | | Danish term or phrase: dansk melon | | No, apparently it's not the obvious translation. I've found some references in recipes but no pictures so far. Which variety of melon is this in English? If no direct translation, is there a cultivar that resembles this? |

| | English translation:netted melon or Galia | Explanation:
My guess is that what is meant is a greenhouse melon grown in Denmark.
http://eksotiskefrugter.emu.dk/frugter/netmeloner.html
Surprising numbers of people can grow them in greenhouses, and the types I have heard of are similar to the netted melons, or possibly Galia and Cantaloup.
I have not been able to find many outlets for commerciallly grown Danish melons, but there might be one here: (Gartneri Toftegård)

Otherwise, Danes do sometimes compare local fruit with more exotic kinds - rosehips with oranges because of the vitamin C content for instance, but I cannot quite imagine what would compare that way with melons.
