How to Cook Chayote

I would like to introduce to you Chayote. We all know that Chayote is a vegetable but I searched chayote at Wikipedia and came out that Chayote is fruit, family of squash, Chayote is good source of Vitamin C.

I remember before we had a small store selling fruits and cooked food. My parents always wake in the morning and go to Divisoria (a place in Manila where the majority of the goods they’re selling are cheap).

My mother was cooking meat and vegetables to sell. I always assist my mother when she’s cooking food to sell. I always observed how my mother cooked, one time I asked my mother if I could cook chayote. My mother said yes and she allowed me to cook chayote. I did cook chayote but as I remember the chayote that I cooked was salty. Didn’t sell much because it didn’t sell much but it’s my learning experience in cooking.
