Yeah... you stumped me on these. The little ones look like gooseberries or green tomatoes and the bigger looks like an unripe avocado with really smooth skin. But I know that's wrong.

If you know how to break it down and have the tools, have them divide it into primals. If not, get it in subprimals so you can cut your own custom portion cuts.
If you have no idea what I'm talking about... ask them what they recommend and go with that. ...
