Two bits of produce I nearly bought but didn’t because I didn’t have time to examine what they were so I took some snaps and left 
I can just about see on the label it says rice, water, potato starch, onion, shrimp and rapeseed oil, so I think they are just really fat fresh noodles
And chow chow. Never had it and don’t recognise it.
I’ve looked it up now so will probably buy some when I go back but I’ll leave a blank space so anyone with Chow Chow Know How can post away and let us know how they’ve tried it.

I’ve found the bone-in bananas cook more evenly.

Those are chayote squash, mirlitoin in Louisiana! They're good boiled and then if cold good with a dressing for salad or hot with butter. It's a squash so...Two bits of produce I nearly bought but didn’t because I didn’t have time to examine what they were so I took some snaps and left

This is good.
Shrimp-Stuffed Mirlitons
Chayote - Wikipedia
Also, best to slice while wearing gloves, some say coat your hands in oil. They've really sticky stuff that won't really wash off.

I read it’s a squash that you can treat like a tomato or a potato
A cucumber squash!
Sounds right up my street.
Thanks for the recipe links
Easy , that one!
It's a type of squash, very popular in Mexico and Latin America, called chayote. The flavour is very mild, but it's rather good stuffed with something rather than served plain.

I read its also good diced and dressed in salad too?

You bet! They're good with an oil and vinegar type dressing is all we've ever used and like karadekoolaid said they're good stuffed.

Cheong Fun is a kind of dim sum and yes you can think of it as a sort of rice noodle - a very big flat and wide rice noodle that has been rolled up with some fillings.
It's made by pouring a rice flour suspension into a large rectangular tray and then it goes into a steamer which solidifies it. The various little tidbits such as prawns or char siew pork are thrown in and it's rolled up like a carpet then chopped into sections and served with a sweetened soy sauce. I ate it yesterday at my dim sum outing
You can see how it's made here:

I’m definitely going back to get some, can’t wait to try that squelchy goodness
It's got a very delicate flavour. Reminds me a bit of (searches taste memory bank, 50 years ago) marrow. It's good with a lemony dressing, mind you.
An anecdote: first time I ate it, here in Venezuela, it was served stuffed with cheese and veg. I ate the whole lot, including the skin - which is really tough.
MIL said afterwards : "HE must have been hungry! I've never seen anyone eat the skin before!!"

Morelo's Market and Waffle House, both of them, are the only ones open today so Morelo's it was.

Scored at Morelo's today. I found their stash of chicken necks in the freezer. 2 lb. packs for cheap! Cheapest stock parts in the store and they've even got a bit of meat on there. I'll make the stock and Ozzie gets one everytime he runs a field fence!
Not very motivated here...
Better at begging...
