Identity of Spanish Plant, please?

wrote: We were on holiday in the Costa Blanca region of Spain this Christmas and came across a strange plant. It had tough green pods about 4 inches in length and roughly the shape of a pepper, at the end of long vine-like branches. The leaves were arrow-head shapes and a bit shorter. Since there were no flowers at this time of year I haven't been able to identify the plant from any of my sources. Has someone out there any idea what these are, please? I'd love to know what they may look like in spring or summer. I've attached a small photo, hoping that's allowed on this group. If not, I apologise. Thanks and a happy new year, Joan I think it's what we used to call a "choko" in Aus. "Cho-cho" in India, "chayote" and "christophene" elsewhere. If that's what it is, it's very bland: peel, remove big seed in the middle, then treat like its relative the vegetable marrow, though I imagine there are better recipes from India. -- Mike. |
