Chayote. I've never had it, but the flavor's supposed to be along the lines of a weak pear. Its actually a vegetable and not a fruit, as it grows on a vine and is part of the squash family. -- for full context, visit https://www.homeownershub.com/garden...ou-110088-.htm |

The very well preserved skin and flesh can be seen in the mummies today" John T. |

Chayote can be quite photogenic, for yoose with lacivious evil mindsets as whomever took those pictures the image with the white fluid oozing makes that image appear as a green (unripened) vulva that's recently been impregnated. Chayote. I've never had it, but the flavor's supposed to be along the lines of a weak pear. Eaten uncooked as in a salad its texture is not unlike an under ripe pear but tastes nothing like a pear... chayote has very little if any flavor, it takes on the flavor of whatever it's served with, chayote can be said to be not unlike tofu... and when properly cooked has the texture of firm tofu as well. Grown in a tropical clime chayote can be quite prolific, hundreds of fruit per plant... in Central America chayote is grown as a livestock crop. Its actually a vegetable and not a fruit, as it grows on a vine and is part of the squash family. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chayote Chayote is actually a fruit, botanically all squash are fruit. |

Whatever it is I do not think it is a choco, (Chayote) In Australia we used to eat tons of them,and make jam with them and they look nothing like your picture. |
