A bottle gourd or calabash cucumber which is pale green on the outside, creamy, yellowish-white inside and looks like a cucumber with a bulge at one end. Only the very young gourds are used for cooking. When older they are most commonly known as calabash and develop a hard, woody shell which may be used for making bowls and musical instruments.
Bangus or milkfish. A large, silver, bony fish popular in the South Pacific and Indian ocean. It has a delicate flavour, rather similar to whitefish, and has greenish-grey skin. It is cultivated in brackish fish ponds.
Flying dragon. I am afraid I am not sure what a flying dragon fish is. If anyone can help, could they e-mail us at queries@whatamieating.com?
