The knock comes, the bag lands on your porch, and suddenly youâre staring at a pile of mystery produce you never asked for. Maybe itâs zucchini, unfamiliar herbs, or an odd, knobbly fruit youâve never seen before.
You smile, say thank you, and then immediately feel unsure. What is it? How do you cook it? Will they ask if you liked it? You donât want to waste itâor offend anyone.
Before it ends up forgotten in the fridge, the first step is simple: ask. Most people are happy to explain what they shared and how they like to prepare it.
