One of the ones I have is S. ferox, the Hairy-fruited eggplant. The description that came with mine is a small fruit, the "hair" is similar to a kiwi fruit and is brushed off before cooking; harvest fruit before the color turns yellow.
Is that one of the same ones you have Cole?
Here is the descriptions I have on my other ones. Any sound familiar to you?
#28 medium size, pick fruit when about 1 1/2", light green in color, with some green striping, shape is a flattened round shape.
#00 Solanum melonga L. - Ma Khuea Khao, light green, harvest before fruits are 8" long, about 80 days from seed to harvest.
#27 - Slightly egg-shaped, pick fruit when light green in color, size can be larger than an egg and smaller than a coconut but tastes best when small.
#3 - 'normal size' small, round shape, bigger than a pea and smaller than a plum, harvest when light green in color.
Grilled bratwurst with spicy mustard. Yum! : )
