It's a Chayote. If you put eyes on it, it looks like a Muppet.

This is a fruit we know as a choko. Lots of recipes online. I usually make a stuffing and bake 'em much like zucchini or their larger incarnation vegetable marrows.

Google says:

The "choko fruit" is actually a vegetable called chayote (Sechium edule), also known as choko, christophine, or mirliton. It's a member of the gourd family (Cucurbitaceae) and is native to Mesoamerica.

Chayote was my guess as I have eaten it ...
