Missy Posted May 12, 2007 Share Posted May 12, 2007 ... Jules et Antoine, of 'L'Amicale des Cyclistes de Trifouilli-les-Oies', were judging the competition for the best pair of melons. There were all kinds to judge from. Big green ones with juicy red insides which Antoine favoured for the crunch of the black seeds and that they had plenty to hold and get one's teeth into, lovely orangey coloured ones with translucent green insides but really with no taste, little Charentais ones with their green/grey tight outer skin and bright orange sweet juicy slices... Jules loved and drooled over these little Charentais melons. Just right for his handlebar moustache not to get in the way. At the end of the line they were surprised to find Marie of the Mairie with le Maire ....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
