That was my initial thought, but I honestly have no idea. Each leaf seems to grow from the centre, where a melon is usually like a vine arrangement? with tendrils.

My first thought was a sickly garden nasturtium Tropaeolum majus. What size are the leaves?

Thanks Mike, but the thickness of the stems and also the hairiness of the leaves/stems seems wrong for Tropaeolum to me...

Not salad material then. I was just viewing on my phone and didn't scroll to the other images.
