FIL: Isang uri ng gulay na hugis peras, may kulay na mapusyaw na berde, at karaniwang isinasahog sa mga lutuing tulad ng tinola at ginisang gulay.
EN: chayote
The most misunderstood vegetable. It's the backup dancer in Tinolang Manok, always there but often overshadowed by the chicken. Some say it's bland, but really, it's just a team player, absorbing the flavor of whatever it's cooked with. It's the "pwede na" of vegetables—reliable, always available in the palengke, and won't break your budget.
From Spanish "chayote," which itself comes from Nahuatl "chayohtli."
A staple vegetable in Filipino cuisine.
