Some kiwano(African horned cucumber).
I’ve never done them before and if honest, I’d forgot they were there and thought it was a late cucumber until I smelt it.

The smell from the exterior is overripe strawberries and melon with a mango cucumber thing in the background. Cut, it smells like a slightly fruity cucumber but I’d imagine the whole fruit will sweeten as it mature and ripens fully.
Very spiky and sharp to handle, you’d be forgiven for thinking it was from a cactus… View attachment 18984095 View attachment 18984096 View attachment 18984097

I found a recipe so I’ll try a pinkish peppercorn sauce tomorrow night. Seems fairly easy, I just need to get brandy or cognac.

Have you had a bordelaise sauce before? That’s an easy one and goes with pork and beef really well.

Depends how big they are and whether they are rotten or freshly cut.
Just make sure you give yourself enough rope that it doesn’t pull out at smash into the vehicle if your pulling them.

I’d be burning them though. Just make a fire on each one and get a few sausages on the go at the same time while your working on the veggies.
