| Chayote (Sechium edule), also known as: custard marrow, christophene (France, Caribbean), chouchoute (Madagascar, Polynesia), brione (France, West Indies), vegetable pear, cho-cho, soussous, chuchu, choko, pipinella, xuxu, mirliton (southern U.S.), mango squash, and huisquil. For all these exotic names, this is simply a subtropical member of the squash family, eaten as a vegetable. It is a pear shaped fruit, has a single seed and a taste similar to zucchini. The young root tubers are also eaten. Chayote is native to Mexico and Central America and was a popular vegetable with the Mayas and Aztecs. It's cultivation has spread all over the world, including Algeria, Madagascar, Polynesia, southern U.S., China, Indonesia, New Zealand and Australia and Acadiana.

Goes well with holiday meals of any kind...I can eat it all by itself (laugh) | | Carrots and Cajuns! The Sweet and the Salty!

| | From the US Tuna Foundation: Canned tuna is the second most popular seafood product in the U.S. after shrimp. (Of course if you are Cajun, crawfish may tie with shrimp.) In the U.S., Americans eat about one billion pounds of canned or pouched tuna a year. Only coffee and sugar exceed canned tuna in sales per foot of shelf space in the grocery store. (Cajuns love their coffee - Community Coffee, Mellow Joy, Seaport among others). Surveys find that 88 percent of all American households have enjoyed canned tuna. In fact, almost half of all households serve canned tuna monthly and 17 percent serve canned tuna at least once a week. Examining how Americans use canned tuna, research finds that about one in four consumers, 23 percent, serve tuna once or more a week. Another four in ten consumers, 39 percent, serve canned tuna two to three times a month, while 29 percent serve it once a month and 10 percent serve canned tuna about every three months. Although most Americans enjoy canned tuna, the largest households serve it the most. This recipe is a great and flavorful way to serve tuna fish.

A "sow" is a female mother pig, a "boar" is a adult male pig, and a "piglet" is a baby pig. A "herd" is a group of pigs.Despite popular belief, pigs are one of the cleanest animals there are; must be why they are such a popular food item. | | A sweet and spicy tasting sauce with shrimp. As wih most of all seafood recipes, crawfish may be substitued for shrimp.

Not yet rated | | I made this reciepe from the top of my head one day. I guess I was bored. I am still trying different ways to cook it. You may also add shrimp to it. You can also double the recipe. Play around with it. This is by far a healthy diet meal, but oh so good. Enjoy making it and eating it. | |
