I planted a wild cucumber because I think the plant looks nice and pollinators seem to enjoy it. Is the fruit edible at all?

Certainly doesn't look like it wants to be eaten. ๐Ÿ™ƒ

Everything is edible if you've got the passion.

As the fungus people say, every mushroom is edible once.

Damn you beat me to it.

The fruit isn't edible, it's basically a giant seed pod.

Everything is edible at least once.

Anything can be ... if you are brave enough.

It's not edible tho.
