***** so this spring I came across some leftover seed that were sent to me as part of this thread. So my son and I decided to try the chocolate tomatoes and Chinese eggplant. Both have grow well this summer, unlike back in 2017 when my whole garden was a bust for the year. The picture below is a large 19" what is supposed to be Chinese eggplant but from me reaserch it should be smooth skinned fruit not having raised ridges. Any help with ID?

Sooo much for this old mans memory- it's a (((((Chinese cucumber)))) not eggplant.
It is a Chinese cucumber. I have no idea what the English name is for it. It is not meant to be eaten raw. You cut it up and add it to stir fries.

EDIT: over here it is called a loofah squash or chinese okra.
