I planted a wild cucumber because I think the plant looks nice and pollinators seem to enjoy it. Is the fruit edible at all?

Certainly doesn't look like it wants to be eaten. π
Everything is edible if you've got the passion.
As the fungus people say, every mushroom is edible once.
Damn you beat me to it.
Everything is edible at least once.
Hereβs what it is:

But no, donβt eat it! Itβs not edible, but it is a cool looking plant
Anything can be ... if you are brave enough.
It's not edible tho.
