Chayote is a "Mexican" squash. It's shaped kind of like pear with a deeply dimpled butt.

It has to be peeled and has a large seed in the center which you take out. It can be eaten raw, but I like it stir-fried with my chicken.

For me it was one of those weekly "new foods" that I tried and liked. So I eat them occassionally. In TSP, they are in the nonstarchy section.
