Kiwanos, a type of spiky melon, are displayed by Mr Gary McNicholl, the auction floor manager at Christchurch Market Gardeners, Ltd. The strange-looking fruit tastes like a cross between a banana and a lime. One way to serve a kiwano is to cut it in half length-wise. Scoop out the pulp and mix with other fruit. Place the mixture back in the shell, and chill. Top with whipped cream, sprinkle with chopped nuts. Kiwanos can also be eaten from the shell with a spoon. A little sugar may be added.
