TGM, is this it?
But What do the taste like?
I love discovering new vegetables to eat and chayote are really surprisingly delicious, better than a courgette or a cucumber; the flesh is denser and crisper, with a light subtle taste. When young they can be eaten whole but as they get bigger it is best to remove the skins as these become tough. They work equally well raw or cooked and go well with nutty, hot, salty, spicy or sour flavours particularly; coconut, lentils, peanuts, tomatoes, chilli and citrus. Lovely grated raw, sliced in salads, lightly boiled, stir fried or cooked with lentils or tomatoes. I've still got lots of experimenting to do, and lots of fruit to experiment on, to see what really is the best way to eat them, so any ideas or suggestions are most welcome.
