So cool!
That was both fun to watch and informative! Roland was an awesome helper! What a cutie! Thanks Jerra, I now will do the hot water method, and I want that giant light green one now, glad you have seeds!
We eat it when it is young it's a common dish in subcontinent making curry locally called as turai or tori. We eat it with lemon and chillies and normally 1-2 left it on the vine for seeds and use the remaining part for sponge.
