This is the first time I've seen a gourd that looks like this bottle. Usually I see pumpkins that are round in shape. My mother used to love to cook this pumpkin with banana, brown sugar and coconut milk. We named the dish "kolak" it was delicious and very tasty. Is there a pumpkin in your place that looks like a bottle like this? Image is mine

Well that's good then. It's also the first time I've seen a long pumpkin like this. I've only seen round pumpkins so far.

Yes, the shape of this pumpkin is very unique, it has a long round shape. I also recently saw a pumpkin shaped like this.

This means that this elliptical pumpkin is indeed rare. Because this is the first time I've seen something like this. Usually the shape of the pumpkin is round.
