It’s a Bule gourd! It’s a type of warted or warty gourd. It’s in it immature green state. Mature, it turns brown and does a very good imitation of a giant hairball. 🙂 Here’s it is: http://www.seedsavers.org/Details.aspx?itemNo=936
I can tell it’s a gourd because it looks thick-skinned and has a really fibrous stem. A custard apple looks more like an artichoke shape and texture wise. A horse apple has a very close texture, but it would be the same size as the pomegranate sitting next to it and would be more wrinkled than warty.
LOL– I’m making my farmer ancestors proud today! Happy Friday, everyone!! 😀
Hmm that kind of looks like a durian
It didn’t smell like a durian!
Or some kind of pumpkin
Is that a kind of melon?
What is that?????
A horse apple? That’s the closest thing I could find searching online.
Mmm, lovely Italian bread 🙂
