African horned cucumber
When it is exported to the U.S., the horned cucumber is often labeled as "blowfish fruit." With its spiky yellow exterior and juicy green interior, this is one fruit with vibrant contrasts. It tastes like a cross between a cucumber and a zucchini, and it is rich in both vitamin C and fiber. Native to Africa, it has been exported and cultivated as far away as New Zealand, Australia and Chile.

thanks net for posting all this unusual fruit
@patricia cowan, i grew up in africa and ive known the common cucumber as well as the "african cucumber", and i have to say it is very very tasty and would choose it over any cucumber..
there are a few people now growing them in australia, and are being exported to the US, but are reasonably expensive...
