LOL I was the same way when I first saw them in

In Louisiana they are called Mirliton and pronounced Mil-a-ton. They are a staple and are stuffed like bell peppers or made into a soup with shrimp or crawfish. In some parts of the world they are called vegetable pears. They also make great pickles. Use any good pickle recipe.
