#Mystery #Plant Update 2:

It's gotten a lot bigger, and has started trying to climb my basil. I still think it's in the #cucumber family, and PlantNet seems to agree, having changed its vote back to #cantaloupe.

However, in a stunning upset, Google Lens has changed its vote to #chayote (aka #mirliton). This is almost certainly wrong.

Human experts have so far guessed: squash, cucumber, and bottle gourd.

No female flowers yet. So we continue to wait.

Partner reported seeing #chokos for sale at the supermarket yesterday for $7.50 kg. We're sitting on a gold mine, a gold mine, I tells ya! LOL. Chokos for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Even Wonderdog eats chokos. #chayote #merlitons

Evening, Toots! I had a huge sleep in this morning after my adventures getting home last night. Lots of laundry and tidying today. Didn’t make it out for a walk, maybe tomorrow. Dinner, naturally, involved chokos. There are so many #chokos. Good thing we like chokos! #chayote #merliton

Afternoon, Toots! A fairly warm day here. Our #choko vine is flourishing, and we have picked the first choko of many! (I’m sure I won’t be as excited by the hundredth choko.) Mum and Dad remember eating these boiled and served in white sauce. They were a big Depression era and 1950s food. In New Orleans, these are called #merlitons, served stuffed with seafood. In Mexico, #chayote. In China, two heart melon, stir fried.
How do you like your #chokos? Any #ChokoRecipes?

This recipe is absolutely amazing if you have access to choko/chayote. Definitely on the list for a Christmas side.
