What kind of strange fruit is this?
Kiwanos! Strange fruit indeed, with a spiky yellow to yellow orange exterior and an unexpected green interior. Just when I thought I knew my fruits and veggies, I come across a new one to love. This one tastes somewhat like a kiwi, or maybe a cucumber, and um, a little like a banana. Well, it's honestly hard to describe! But, it definitely looks like a defensive yellow blowfish. In fact:
This fruit is called various other names around the world, such as African Horned Cucumber, Melon Kiwano, Blowfish Fruit, Jelly Melon, and the Hedged Gourd. Source: https://whatscookingamerica.net/Q-A/KiwanoHornedMelon.htm
Happy Wednesday! @allforthegood
What the heck. This looks like more trouble than it's worth.
Still, just once...it's probably fun.

How do you eat this? Do you just scoop it out with a spoon?

Yes, that works! Some people just squeeze it and suck out the contents.

Actually, I got them from @papa-pepper. Not sure where he found them! I plan on planting a few in our garden this year.

Yes, I just love the look of it. And, it does grow in the southern U.S. I'll try it this year just for fun :) I bet you have many varieties of fruits and veggies over there I've never seen.

They look like giant virus cells. Are they easy enough to cut open?

They are actually. Much easier than, say, a overripe crooked yellow neck squash.
