My Neighbor Gave Me a Bag of These… Anyone Know What They Are? How Do You Eat Them?
It’s one of those moments many of us have experienced: a well-meaning neighbor hands you a bag of something fresh, homegrown, or unfamiliar—and you smile, say thank you, then head inside wondering, What on earth did I just get?
That was exactly the case when my neighbor dropped off a bag filled with these mysterious items. They looked natural, edible, and probably delicious… but I had no idea what they were or how to eat them. Turns out, this kind of surprise happens more often than you’d think—and it’s usually a good thing.
When Neighbors Share the Harvest
Whether it’s from a backyard garden, a local farm, or foraging, neighbors often share surplus produce. It could be fruits, vegetables, nuts, or even herbs that aren’t commonly found in grocery stores. These gifts are usually seasonal and fresh, which makes them special—but also confusing if you’ve never seen them before.
First Step: Identify Before You Eat
Before tasting anything unfamiliar, identification is key. Some produce looks similar to others but has very different uses. Asking your neighbor directly is always the safest option, but if that’s not possible, a few clues can help:
- Size, color, and texture
- Smell when cut open
- Whether they grow on trees, vines, or underground
- Local growing season
Sharing a clear photo online or with a local gardening group often leads to quick answers from experienced growers.
