Horned Kiwano Melon

I spotted this beautiful fruit at my local grocery store. And when I say I spotted it I mean it wasn't hard to spot with it's beautiful orange color. It stands out among all the other fruits and vegetables.

I paid $4.99 for it.

 

Will's Review:

Reading what is written about this fruit on it's wikipedia page it had quite a variety of flavor descriptions including banana/passionfruit, cucumber/zucchini and banana/cucumber/lime.
For me: It definitely has a cross flavor combining a cucumber and a banana. It doesn't taste like a passion fruit but.... it has a very similar texture to the passionfruit. The jelly-ness and theh abundance of seeds is a bit too much for me though. Not my favorite fruit but I am very happy that I gave it a try.
