Drumsticks

drumsticks An Indian vegetable, available in South Asian groceries, these are usually cut into lengths and simmered until tender. They are medium to dark green, very long (twelve to eighteen inches) cylinders with ridges (the reference is not to turkey legs but to the wooden sticks for playing drums). They look like a cross between cucumber and okra. They are eaten with the fingers; the inner flesh is sucked out and the rest discarded.
