A woman shared a rare and attention-grabbing ingredient called 'North Gourd' in a Facebook group dedicated to home cooking. The North Gourd, visually similar to a watermelon with flesh resembling winter melon, is not commonly found in Taiwan. Market vendors suggest steaming the gourd, removing the black seeds, and scraping off the white flesh inside, with its texture surprisingly reminiscent of precious fish fin. Originating from America, the North Gourd is known locally as 'Fish Fin Gourd' and requires specific cooking methods to bring out its unique flavor. This unexpected discovery of a unique fruit-like vegetable sparked discussions among netizens, with some recognizing it as the North Gourd and sharing various ways of preparing and enjoying it.
