On the way to lunch today we eyeballed a new storefront bakery selling melon-pan (melon bread). I'd always thought of melon-pan as a children's snack but seeing as most people in the growing line were old enough to vote or smoke cigarettes, or both at the same time, I had to see what all the fuss was about.

I'm not exactly sure how to categorize melon pan. The top layer is made of sugar glazed cookie dough giving it a sweet crunch, and directly under the cookie crust is soft warm bread, like a dinner roll. Another reason why I had yet to try melon-pan was my false misconception that there would be baked chunks of cantaloupe melon thought-out, a not so appetizing prospect, similar to others in the hyphenated pan family (curry-pan, choco-pan, cream-pan, an-pan). Being wrong is delicious.
