I totally agree that Casa Pascal is one of the best places to eat in Pattaya, if not Thailand. I always head for a meal there when I come to Pattaya and totally agree with your recommendation. However, in this case Pascal is missing a good bet. If he is going to import those melons from France he needs to add cucumbers and make Cavaillon soup. I must also wave the flag and say that the USA has the same Melons of equal quality, but we are not allowed to call them Cavaillon. They are just as good and way cheaper.

If they are not called Cavaillon, then what are they called in the US? I want to buy some and try them myself. What do I ask for in the produce section and at what time of year are they available?

I am originally from the central valley in California and this is the only place I know you can find them. I am sure they are grown elsewhere, I just do not know where. I have bought mine at a local farmers market. The flesh is a very light orange, they are harder without an uniform mesh. Often called a true cantaloupe to distinguish them from muskmelons which most people call cantaloupes, but I've also bought them as Cavaillons as the French don;'t check local markets.
