Yesterday I decided to cook a few things for the week and for Mom's return from her 3 week trip to Asia!
When I went to the super market, I saw chayote (from Costa Rica!) and decided I should make some picadillo de chayote, among other things. When I went to go check out, the cashier goes, "Uh, what is this?" "That's chayote." I pronounced it the only way I knew, the way everyone says it in Costa Rica. Chai-yo-teh.
The cashier says, "What??" and gives me a funny look. He continues, "Oh--you mean chai-oat."
