I concur with Philip.  Luffa-egg soup is great on a hot summer day! I
grew them when I was back in Singapore and I'm going to grow some this
year in Texas! I hope they do well.  It is also great stir fried with
some mince pork and garlic.  Oh BTW, we're referring to the young green
gourds.  I did not realize that luffa was used as a sponge till I
arrived in the USA. We never let our gourds get to that point except for
when collecting seeds.
