A rare mate indeed

Let's kick off 2022 with a casual anonymous blitz game (5+3) I won. I was black, my opponent fooled around in the opening (1. h3, 2. a3), but then won a pawn, only to let me trap and win a knight, and then allowed a rare type of mate I had never had on the board:

 
23. ... Qd6+ 24. f4 (only move) exf3 # en passant checkmate.
