Oops - forgot to post my pepper photo for yesterday’s WOD.
Not very interesting. I do not like photographing food. Peppers I find particular challenging because of their shiny skin. The same with plums, actually. Textured fruit and vegetables are far more enjoyable for me to take a photograph of, if I am going to take a shot of any type of food.
In the background are a few christophenes, known locally as ‘chou chou’ pronounced ‘shou-shou’ … lol.
A lovely image. We call those green things chocos in NZ. How do you cook them? We boil them, but they are somewhat bland and are only as good as the cheese sauce they are served with...

Thank you!
Very bland vegetable indeed. The Mauritian style of cooking these things is similar to yours, but they carry it a bit further, and make a gratin - or they parboil them, and make a kind of stir-fry concoction with beef chopped into small cubes, onions, garlic, parsley, thyme and a bit of chilli. The completed dish is served with rice and a tomato salad.

I believe they are called chokos in your area of the world; in the first comment, Dianne also made mention of that. This vegetable has so many names; in India and Asia they are called something else entirely, pretty exotic names.
I think you did a good job photographing the peppers. I’m unfamiliar with the.christophenes but they look like something that is sold in our grocery stores.
