長得像外太空生物，
出於好奇，
於是上網做research。
至少，我想知道如何吃。
到底是生果，
還是要煮食？
找到以下的一些步驟：
1. Choose a kiwano that is fully ripened. It'll have an orange rind with spikes. If you can't find a fully ripened fruit, wait for it to turn orange before eating it.
2. Cut the fruit in half transversely (along the equator, as shown in the picture). Set one half aside.
看得我很想試，外太空生物，打開看上有點異形的感覺！
3. Hold the remaining half up to your mouth. Slowly, but firmly, squeeze the fruit from the lower end. Small, semi-slimy sacs of fruit, each containing a cucumber-like seed, should come to the cut surface of the fruit.
4. Lick or suck up at least one sac of fruit and seed.
5. Pinch the sac of fruit gently with your front teeth. The seed should be between your teeth and closed lips. Suck the sac of fruit through your top and bottom teeth. Your teeth should be pinching enough to hold the seed on the outside of your teeth, yet still allowing the sac of fruit to be sucked to the back of your mouth.
6. Spit the seed out into the bowl.
7. Chew or suck on the sac of fruit, swallowing it once you have savoured the flavour. Repeat until you've had your fill of kiwano!
食法也算方便，
有點像小時候吃的番石榴吧。
一試也無妨！
但看到這一句，
我卻步…
不只卻步，還要逃跑！
The Kiwano (also known as the Horned Melon, melano, African horned cucumber, jelly melon, hedged gourd, and/or English tomato) is a fruit native to a region of the Kalahari Desert. When picked green and allowed to ripen, the fruit tastes like a mix of cucumber (味道淡淡的？) and kiwifruit (不愛，但也不是憎). When it's picked fully ripe, it has a banana-like taste (@_@;;;跑！).
