If anyone has a good photo of the vine of this plant in the flowering stage, it would be helpful since I have seen fruits like this growing in community gardens and backyards in Los Angeles. Recently a huge quantity was donated to a local foodbank and some clients were perplexed as to what to do with it. The article was helpful to a degree. More info on it's use in Latino and Mexican Cuisine would be helpful. The reason I even found this article was because I was trying to help clients find out more about the fruit they were being given as their "Vegetable allotment", many of them were old and of Eatern European Jewish descent. They guessed it might be something to pickle just by cutting it open but some general info on New World uses would be helpful. I'll try to gather some info myself, but other editors with an interest in this area are politely invited to help improve the article. Thank you! LiPollis (talk) 19:02, 17 March 2015 (UTC)Reply
There's much more information available under some of the other names for the plant which I've just added. A web search for "jam melon" seems particularly productive, though not from the cuisines you mention. (I think the flowering plant looks very much like a watermelon plant. Or perhaps your contacts may be able to provide a photo.)Sminthopsis84 (talk) 15:27, 29 March 2015 (UTC)Reply
