Pineapple melons??

No. They are the Cypriot , yellow melons with a lovely aroma. The skin has 'veins' on it. You must have had them in Cyprus. I dont know if the GC have a different name for it. In Turkish we just call them 'Ananas'. Funny enough we also use the same word for Pineapple too.

Cantaloupe?

I've had them and yes they're really nice, I was informed that we call them honey melons in the UK but I'm not sure

Honeydew melons are totally different. I am fairly certain that D is talking about cantaloupes!

From his description they are the ones I had in May when I was in Cyprus. You could be right about the name, after all I'm just a man who doesn't really worry about the name of things, I just eat them
