What is this object viewed from an unusual angle?

[Killearn Kitties]

Since it's Friday and I've finished most of my work, I thought I would let you see what a colleague brought into the office today. It is a fairly everyday sort of object but does not usually come in that colour, to my knowledge.

So what do you think it is?

[Pawsitive Thinking]

Maracas?

[JenBKR]

hmm....squash?

[ComedyDevil]

Maracas?

That's what I was going to say ... except ... I've seen loads that colour.

No idea.

[LilacDragon]

EWWWW.

How long does it take for bananas to turn that particular shade of brown?

[Lizzie]

Bananas. Or are they called plantains when they are that colour, and you fry them - I think.

[catnapper]

I was going to say "Figs?" but I think Lizzie's got it right with bannanas
