This is a bit of a cheap shot at blogging about food from our travels when this recipe is from a trip we made three or four years ago to France, but I need to put my name to it right now before anyone else claims fame from it.  This is an excellent starter for a boozy lunch.

Step one - find yourself a patio or lovely outdoor eating area with dappled sun, preferably after 11 am (this depends on your personal standards).

Step two - find yourself one rockmelon for every two friends you have eating with you.

Step three - half rockmelon and scoop out the seeds.

Step four - add two to three shots of drinkable port and a spoon.

Step five - serve.

The drinkability of this port is questionable...
