I just got some a grilled it -- yummy! Very light and refreshing, sweet and crunchy like an apple. Has anyone else tried it? |

HOLY CARP!!!

Never heard of it, but I like lots of different squash. Grilled squash sounds yummy. Is this a small squash? edit. I just googled them, looks like it could be something good. I'll have to see if I can round some up.

I had grilled zucchini squash, eggplant, and peppers for supper last night along with a pork chop and a fresh tomato. Very good. I've never seen or even heard of chayote squash. Perhaps I'll see it at Whole Foods or a farmers' market as the range of vegetables and fruits being sold seems to be ever expanding. If I do, I'll try it. Big Al |

Sue -- That's them -- sort of like misshapened pears, texture is sort of apply. I sliced them 1/4" thick, olive oil, balsamic, lemon juice, sea salt, and grilled. Very nice. Look for them. Al -- I love grilling veggies -- mushrooms, sweet peppers, asparagus, tomatoes, zucchini, carrots, onions, garlic, radicchio. Lately with jumbo shrimp or king crab legs. |

I didn't peel them, just sliced. Why gloves?

They get your hands sticky and it's hard to wash off. |
