I don’t know, but to me it just looks like a Stapelia, which is a succulent decorative plant

For extra context, I volunteer at a foodbank in the UK. It’s possible it’s inedible but would be really odd. Not really able to distribute to people if we have no idea if it’s edible.

_Caralluma_ species, can’t be certain it’s one of the varieties considered edible though.

I believe I read that some stapeliads are eaten as famine food in their native range. But that’s still really weird.

Looks like broken off branches from a huernia schneideriana to me — a house plant.

It’s a stapeliad. Probably one of the Caralluma species.

It’s Caralluma adscendens, it’s called chonga in Pashto and Chonga keema is a common dish there. Helps with diabetes and few other ailments.

Oh I know this one. It’s an Asian vegetable: it’s called Chunga in Urdu, but in English it’s a Caralluma adscendens

Donate as a houseplant. Most people would not know how to prepare even if edible. Cute as a succulent houseplant

They’re freshly grown Churos, you have to dry them out and then fry them, dry them out again, coat them in sugar and cinnamon and bake them for 30 minutes.
You can get them from the same place that sells the spaghetti tree from that BBC documentary.
/s…. if not obvious 👍

Those are catacumbers or cucupillars depending on gender

It’s bitter as f*** if cooked improperly.
Looks like cactus to me

Is this the one with mottled star shaped flowers and fluffy seeds?
This is the plot to Little Shop of Horrors
It looks a lot like my huernia plant.
