  Chef's Notes:  Stephan Pyles, the owner and chef of Dallas' hottest
  new restaurant, Star Canyon, tells us: "Chayote, a green squash about
  the same shape and size as a large pear, was a staple of the Aztecs
  and Mayans, and it is still used extensively in Mexican and South
  American cooking. In Louisiana and Florida, the chayote is known as
  'mirliton.' It is more widely available during winter months and has
  a crisp, crunchy texture and an earthy flavor that suits salsas and
  relishes very well." Entered into MasterCook by Terri Law, 8/22/96.
