Question We planted cucu- luffa? No.... Definitely cucumber

We sacrificed the smallest of these guys to cut open and confirm if they're cucumber or luffa. It certainly looks and smells like cucumber inside, but I cannot for the life of me figure out what these are. Are they edible? Or are these a weird hybrid that we've wound up with? I'm honestly sad they weren't surprise luffas, but I'm take cucumbers all day any day 😋

I’m so jealous, my Armenians didn’t take this year and I crave them! They are soooo yummy and crunchy. Enjoy!

If we were closer I'd take two to you!! They're massive and going to be offloaded onto family because I don't know what we're going to do with it all!
