Its a wintermelon you dolt

Peel it and stir fry it or make it into a soup

Its almost like squash in consistency except when cooked in a soup where it'll turn into basically watermelon but softer if cooked long enough

>> No.6782726

Looks like a marrow, a kind of squash. Open it up.

>> No.6782736

are you gonna cut into it and let us see the inside?

even it's some weird third world vegetable, just cover it with plastic wrap. it'll be good until you figure out some ooga booga brown person recipe for it.

Not sure what it is specifically but I'd put it in the squash realm. Put some in a soup and describe its texture. Courgette/marrow types will be more fleshy, while wintermelon will be more fall-apart.

They probably mean it's a type of squash like pumpkin is.

Prepare for death now that you poisoned yourself. why would you eat somethin you have no idea what it is.

Definitely wintermelon, just not a commercially grown one I assume hence the kinda weird shape. Not my fave, but very good for summer, very refreshing. Great in slow-cooked soup with chicken and chinese ham.

This is my guess:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cucurbita_ficifolia

most of the images you find have black seeds but its possible that you have an under-ripe one.
