That's kind of you to say, but probably not actually true.
Here goes:
On Radio 4 Gardener's Question Time someone asked for a veg recommendation that his allotment neighbour wouldn't have heard of as part of a unspoken competition/rivalry. Someone suggested Fat Baby aka achocha, Cyclanthera brachystachya.
I bought some seeds from ebay. And my youngest child (toddler at the time) and I grew them in our veg patch.
My wife didn't approve of me referring to them as Fat Baby in front of a toddler as she thought it wasn't kind language.
They are climbers and very easy to grow. But fundamentally it's not a great vegetable in my opinion.
