@isol 😂 how many #choko vines to build a space elevator and would they be a viable structural material?
(Idly wonders if I still own a copy of the classic 'The New Science of Strong Materials' and whether J. E. Gordon ever thought of this.)

@CanvasesByPeter The best way to describe them in sort of like Zucchini? Blank canvas. Very subtle flavour. Baked, in the air fryer, (30 minutes at 200, #choko cut into quarters on the longitudinal axis) makes them taste like baked pumpkin, I think.
Previous generations boiled them and smothered them in white sauce. I occasionally steam them and just add butter, but the air fryer roast is delicious. Or throwing them into curries or stir fries.

@feather1952 I had never heard of one until last night, and never seen one until today! Apparently they taste just the same, but the vine might be a little bit more tender. We'll see how it goes!
