Pepino Dulce story

So the other day, I made a hamburger casserole for my host family. At the grocery store, I saw an interesting unusual vegetable named pepino dulce. Since my casserole needed some peppers, I picked on up. Unfortunately the word for pepper is pimienta. Pepino is cucumber. So instead of buying sweet peppers I was buying sweet cucumbers. I was very surprised when I got home and chopped open the pepino dulce because it was very unpepper-like. It was sort of pink inside and had a slight melon taste. I tossed into the casserole but I'm probably lucky that you couldn't taste it in the final product.
