Could those be Mexican Sour Gherkins? Perhaps Lemon Cucumbers? Here is a bit on the Gherkins:

Cute, 1" long fruits look like miniature watermelons and taste like cucumbers with citrus and tangy overtones.

I don't have a clue. But I didn't taste any citrus overtones. Just cucumber/melon. The big turn-off for DH and I was the itchy throat after eating just one of them.

They look like lemon cucumbers to me, I grew them once.

I don't know what lemon cucumbers taste like. But, there is no lemon/tartness to these.

However it does take away most nutritional benefit, that was in the milk when it came from the cow or goat.

That is OK for my use, it is just a teaspoon or 2 for flavor in my weekly coffee

I think they are named for their color and shape, nothing to do with flavor. Though I don't recall any itchy throat so maybe yours are a different "variety". Easy to find on the plant though!

And that's fine. Its not a problem if you only use a tiny bit.

I just wanted to make sure that people who drink "organic milk" are aware it isn't as healthy as its cracked up to be.

That is why we have to get it direct from you! Of course you are a WEE bit out of the way for me.

DV this is a pic of duck eggs and my finger is pointing to a Lil Bit egg..... ...since ya asked about the size, Joyce had these on the counter, so I got a pic.

Wow! Lil Bit's egg looks bigger than the egg next to it!

It is a bit smaller in circumfrence, but certainly comparable.
