Monstera deliciosa or Swiss Cheese Plant is commonly grown as a houseplant, but it will produce an edible fruit.  Monsteras are vines that have spectacular perforated foliage.  The largest leaf on my plants at the moment is three feet long.  I have seen mature plants that had leaves over 5 feet long.  The fruit is supposed to taste like banana and pineapple.

I am not growing these for their fruit, but they are so beautiful I had to show them somewhere.
