So I went to Morrison's for more buckets and saw a range of unusual veggies that I just had to have - not so much to eat as to grow. I gathered up 4 different items and eventually reached checkout - by which time I'd forgotten what they were called 
They were new to the checkout girl too and she had to look at images of the items to match them to the names and prices.
First up, looking like dried out chicken wings was - Galangal.
The second I could remember - Turmeric roots
Third were two round objects like dark hairy Kiwi fruit - start the giggles - as the checkout girl, after much feeling, decided they were Eddoes.
Finally, a long, pale greenish white, cucumber-like object -all I could remember was it was something beginning with D! By this time, I was crying, the girl behind me wanted to rush back for one and the checkout girl was announcing to all and sundry - It begins with what, a D? No, it can't be called that! Its a Dud - eye (Cardiff pronunciation).
Turns out its a Dudhi or bottle gourd!
Next question has anyone grown any of these items and can give me some tips.
Oh, and how do you eat them?
