If it looks like this: http://whatscookingamerica!.net/Q-A/Kiwan!.!.!. then it is a Kiwano melon!. I personally love them but some people don't!.

Have you cut it open!? And it is not Spanish, it is of African origin (it is also called an African horned cucumber because it is a member of the cucumber family -- yet still grown and sold as a fruit)!.

I can't think of anything else it could be, sorry!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
