Yes indeed. That's the neighbors field, but I have my own stalls that I get fertilizer out of.

I think their official name is chayote. I've always heard them called mirlitons or vegetable pears. It is a member of he gourd family just like melons, squash, and cucumbers. We've always pickled them or made chow chow with them. It makes a great garnish for gumbos or any gravy. They are also really good saut?ed. My grandpa used to grow them and pickle them. I haven't had any good homemade in a while so I sprouted a few and planted them. Hopefully they do well and I can start pickling my own.

Here's a stock photo off of google.
