Kiwano (horned melon) blowfish fruit?

[Snadger]

Ok, this is it, I've grown these and reckon the big one is ready for eating?

Supposedly tasting of pomegranate & citrus and some say pineapple it is a supposed delicay eaten with a spoon like an egg!

I'll let you know when I eat it, but would like to keep some of the seeds for next year. Seeds are quite expensive and the fruits are apparently quite expensive in the fruiterers?

Never heard of them, Blowfish sounds worrying..are they like dragon fruit ?

Also known as African Horned Cucumber; we have one at one of our schools....it's been hard to keep the kids from picking it!

So it's not a fruit as such then...........

Well...Its certainly not a fish! I dunno for sure what the heck it is?

Good job...those blowfish are poisonous........

Managed to get one fruit this year but found they were not that easy to grow and took ages to fruit. Spines are lethal so beware.
