People Help, What is a Chayote in English?

Answer 1

Mostly, it's called a chayote in English. Or a "chayote squash." Or a mirliton. Or occasionally I've seen recipes where they are called "vegetable pears" because they are pear-shaped. Once I saw a cookbook that said in Italy they're called something that translates into Zucchini-by-the-Hundreds because they grow so abundantly and are, in effect, a zucchini-like vegetable shaped like a pale-green pear. I cannot recall what cookbook this is in; it may be by Viana La Place or Marlene Spieler, but then again it might be some other cookbook writer.

Answer 10

In the superstore, fruits are usually selected much too soon. Some are rocks, many are bitter. Some of the fruit and vegetables are generally right (zucchini, onions, garlic, lettuce, greens, and a few others) so I'd have to go with vegetables.
