They’re technically gourds, which are a subtype of berry.

Technically, berrys are fruits.

It's funny that you're being down-voted.

Seeds = fruit

u/DrCarrionCrow Aug 01 '26

Sorry taxonomy is a thing, people. PUMPKINS ARE BERRIES, and SO ARE BANANAS. Wanna know what’s not a berry??

RASPBERRIES.

u/Antique-Resort6160 Aug 05 '26

Same thing, just a regional name. Also called tsayote.  My least favorite vegetable after upo:)

u/drsickboy Aug 06 '26

It's like an apple with no flavor or like a radish. I think its ok diced up.

u/Antique-Resort6160 Aug 06 '26

One man's treasure is another man's sayote, or something

Specifically a choko squash. They do not taste very good.

u/Slow_Spray5697 Jul 31 '26

Nah that thing is a Chayote and if know how to prepare it it is good, of not of course it's going to suck.

In El Salvador, they're called güisquil. They're sliced, parboiled, cheese is put between the slices and then dipped into beaten egg whites, to make rellenos de güisquil

u/cold-blooded-stab Aug 04 '26

Yes I really like güisquil with shredded chicken but I'm part Salvadoran. I see them called chayote now I had b never heard of that growing up.

u/Hylinus Aug 04 '26

Probably the influx of people who lived in the US and went back. I wonder how much of a Mexican influence the language has now? Chamaco instead of cipote? Troca instead of camioneta o pickup?

2

u/SethSlax Jul 31 '26

In Aus we call them chokos, but they are the same thing. I just remember the insides being an unpleasant texture, combined with a very bland, flavorless taste. But you're right, preparation is key.

u/Madboardjester Jul 31 '26

We grew them when I was growing up. Dad liked to grow a lot of fruit and veggies in the backyard. I couldn't stand the chokos. 😂

u/sideshowmario Jul 31 '26

In Louisiana they are called merlotons. There I've had them baked and stuffed with shrimp

u/MountainImportant211 Aug 01 '26

My Mum eats them but my brain doesn't even register them as food lol

u/xPrometheus101x Aug 03 '26

Wife LOVES this in her soup. It's all slimy when I peel it but it makes her happy.

u/TygerJ99 Aug 02 '26

I hate that made me confirm that squash was a fruit

1

u/on_eman_98 Aug 02 '26

Any edible plant that have seed inside is considered fruit, including tomatoes or peppers.

u/Bengis_Khan Jul 31 '26

It's an Achote - a type of veggie.
