Who has NEVER tried chayote before? 🙋🏻‍♀️🙋🏻‍♀️

We call it Cho Cho in Jamaica, and cook it in chicken soup!

To get rid of most of the sticky sap, you chop a little bit of the top off and you rub the cut part on the stub for a minute to bring it out. It should come up like a white gummy paste. Then you can wash it and peel it without it slipping and sliding out of your hands. :)

My mom would always make it in caldo de res, it's soo good .

I'm Mexico it's called chayote. And yes it goes in soups. It's delish

Chayote is one of my faves just for the reason that it's flavor isn't that overpowering and is so satisfying to eat!

My mom used to call this chow-chow and she uses this in sambar(indian curry ). It has lot of water content and good for weight loss itseems

Northeast Indian here, we call it daskus or just squash in my state Manipur. An extremely versatile vegetable which goes well with anything and on it's own but I feel it taste the best chopped vertically with the skin and seed on and steamed; really brings out the sweetness of it and yes the seed also taste nutty and great. You all should try.

We called it Labu Siam/waluh in Indonesia. Usually either stir fry it with shallots, garlic, fresh chili, salt, pepper, sugar and MSG/chicken bullion. Or I like it with cooked with a curry like paste & coconut milk. So good! Eat it with rice or lontong (rice cake).

Shouldn’t you cut the top part of it and rub it in a circular motion (the little top part that you cut off and the rest of the sayote) and then wait for it form like a white foam? I think that’s what people do so it wouldn’t be sappy and sticky

Down here in New Orleans that's a mirliton! They have a whole festival for it and a bunch of people grow them in their yards. I freaking love it smothered with some shrimp or ground beef

[amandabeckles]

In Trinidad we call it christophine. Tastes really good stir fried with other veggies. 🇹🇹

[jademorla]

We call it 'Tayota' in Dominican Republic. We used it in salads and stews :)

[TrishaMoli]

We call those chocho in Jamaica. Often cooked in soups and with any meat kind or just by itself with other vegetables.

In my country we call them Guisquil, and my grandma usually cooks them in chicken soup! Also, the pith is actually very delicious on its own

[felipemartins]

it's common in Brazil too, though it has a reputation for being flavorless. we call it "chuchu" around here and usually we stir fry it with garlic

[foundwantingwaiting]

Chayote is called Mirliton where I'm from. We eat it for Thanksgiving. It's boiled then bake with seafood and ham with breadcrumbs on top, a type of dressing. Delicious!

I love sayote whether stir fry, Filipino chop suy, tinola, vegetable spring roll, etc...

Thank you for featuring the positive side of Filipino culture, traditions and food.
It is nice that you have not forgotten them.😊

In Louisiana these are called mirlitons. During the Thanksgiving and Christmas season mirliton shrimp dressing is a favorite.
