[Sca-cooks] Chayote

[Mercy Neumark]

<<I am considering this recipe for later this week, but I'm not sure
what a "Chayote" is. I think this may be the pale, round, greenish
pepper thing with a thin papery skin that I've seen in the grocery,
but I'm not sure. So, can someone tell me what a Chayote is? And just
in case I can't find one, some possible substitutes?>>

I think its considered a squash.  You'd probably be fine with a butternut
squash or something close to it, I would imagine.
