What's a mirilton? I wish I lived in the South this time of year. All the food I ate was traditional, turkey, dressing, etc. But not as tasty as Mom's and grandma's offerings as a kid. I had dinner with my in-laws in Wisconsin. They didn't know what a sweet potato pie is !?!

The Mirliton is also known as the Chayote Squash, Alligator Pear, Mango Squash and Vegetable Pear.

I was so excited the first time I found them in Shreveport/Bossier. They only appeared in the grocery stores here about 5 years ago.

You stuff them like a bell pepper, but their taste is much milder and somehow richer. But mainly its one of those foods that bring back memories of childhood.

you have all made me hungry. I haven't had my Thanksgiving yet. Waiting for tomorrow. Ham and smoked turkey. At least I hope, brother is trying a new way to smoke it.........last years turkey ended up in the oven after he smoked it. Hope everyone has/had a great Thanksgiving.
