Ingredients

½	honeydew melon
1	cantaloupe
	port wine
	ginger, freshly grated
	freshly ground black pepper
8 slice(s)	Parma ham
	oil
4	Grissini bread-sticks

Instructions

Halve the cantaloupe and scrape away seeds and fibres of both melons.

For the salad:
Scoop small balls out of the flesh of the honeydew melon and half a cantaloupe, to get a nice whitish and pinkish mix. Season the melon balls with a dash of port wine, a pinch of ginger and pepper and allow to marinate for approximately 10 minutes.

Arrange the melon salad in a scratched out melon shell and serve decorated with rosettes of Parma ham.

For the soup:
Scrape out the remaining flesh from the melon shells. Purée with a hand blender, adding a dash of port wine, a pinch of ginger and a pinch of pepper. Fry two slices of ham in a pan until golden and crispy. Pour the soup into small iced glasses and serve sprinkled with the fried ham.

For the melon boats:
Cut the remaining cantaloupe into wedges. Carefully cut the flesh from the shell, but leave it on the shell and cut it into bite-sized pieces. Wrap ham around Grissini bread-sticks and serve together with the melon boats.
