(Huff at the older fruit images being broken for comparison! Oh, right, there's the recap link I forgot about, there we go, now anyone else reading will remember it too.)
I feel like this is one of those fruits where one should imagine the spikes as eyes, and the seed sacs as a different kind of eyes, and go from there.
I actually had a dream about eating a bitter wedge of a cucumber-like mystery fruit the other day. We were in some sort of survival situation trading rations, and someone I may have been trading with found there was accidentally something he was horribly allergic to (which had never been mentioned before) in his batch of some-kind-of-gourd while I was eating the bitterpicklething, so he got very agitated and went to retrieve something with which to shoot me in revenge before he inevitably succumbed. It wasn't a very good time. The fruit itself attacking you instead at least seems fairer, really.
I'm not quite sure how you would use it and there are too many seeds to just enjoy it as something to eat... they're at an uncomfortable place where they're not quite substantial enough to easily pick out but not flimsy enough to be unnoticeable while eating them. But the taste is not unpleasant!
