Thanks, Donna--very interesting. I 'live on them' during the summer--I boil them, roast them, put them in soups & casseroles, make chutney & pickles with them, & sometimes just fry them in butter, with heaps of salt & pepper (not too healthy, but nice, lol). I can't give them away 'cos everyone else grows them, too. Most aren't intentionally grown--they 'just appear' every year, as if by magic, lol.


And I'm going to try growing them next summer, Earl. Glad you posted pictures of the plant. I'd never seen them growing before.

I'm an old dude and in all my years have never heard, seen, or read anything about these! Plus sure don't look very appetizing to me although Donna makes it appealing with the addition of SHRIMP.

Every home in Maclean seems to have a choko vine growing on a fence or a wall somewhere, lol, & countless bottles of choko chutney are made every summer. They grow very quickly & these little upstarts will be eating size in no time. Downloading is recommended.


never heard of them before now...very interesting, and nice shots!
