We must have reached the same conclusion simultaniously :D glad to have an extra vote on this guess. Now I regret not tasting the fruit.

It's so exciting! I'll have to read more about it ☺️ Thanks!

wax gourd

Had to look them up :) the leaves are different and they aren't pods with goo. I don't think this one's in the pumpkin family. But the wax gourd looks interesting; I might get that next year :D

It was a vine of some sort (it climbed a tree). The fruits were the big grey-green-blue pods and inside was some sticky, soft gooey pulp with seeds.

I love finding wacky fruits I’ve never heard before!

Hopefully it’s edible right?

There's a youtube for that! I dunno how I stumbled on it but there is a guy whose entire channel is tasting weird fruits.

Ooh! I think I found it! :D it might be Akebia Quinata. Does that seem right?
