Mystery fruit
What the heck are these fruits? We got these from an older couple--Chinese husband and Japanese wife. Or is it vice versa? Either way, we don't know what they're called in English. They're creamy like avocados and subtly sweet like a pear. You peel and cut them sort of like mangoes. Most of them have one round seed in the middle and flatter ones on the side.
They're super tasty; we just don't what what to call them!

It looks like Luo Han Guo 罗汉果 found in Southern China - you would see these if you took the boat trip down the Li River from Guilin to Yangshuo. They grow in those hills and are sold in and around that area in the markets, but not many other places. You see then used in medicinal teas for longevity and the like. As for an English name, I don't know.
Long life and good health to you!
that looks like chayote to me!
