Guest guest Posted October 12, 2007 Report Share Posted October 12, 2007 I haven't tried Chayote yet either, though Donna has urged me to. I only tried jimica once and didn't care for it so I have to try it again. After all, it took me 30 years to like peas and 35 to like pineapple. I can still barely tolerate coconut. So I'll try things several times. Luckily, my husband knows better than to berate me about trying new food. If I'm in the kitchen I'm armed, so he keeps it quiet. I never did really like pomegranates, though I like the juice. Anyone else?

Guest guest Posted October 12, 2007 Report Share Posted October 12, 2007 Hello everyone! My name is Dallas and I'm new here. I was told this is a good place to get veggie recipes, even though I'm not vegetarian..well, not all the way....yet. I love veggies and so does my husband and daughter, but I am at a loss at what to do with them besides put them in a pot and boil or steam them. So that's why I'm here..besides the fact that the price of meat these days is awful and I'm trying to get away from buying so much of it. I rarely ever buy fresh veggies, as they go bad REALLY quickly around here.. as my husband and daughter will RARELY eat leftovers.... they're weird! I, personally, love leftovers and have a bat habbit of taking whatever is leftover in the fridge, throwing it in a big pot and either making a " mess " , as I call it, out of it... or add broth to the pot and make a " soup " of sorts... that really grosses my husband out when I do that stuff... LOL... anyways... I was also wondering... I noticed someone talking about Chyote the other day... can anyone tell me what it tastes like? I'm skiddish about buying stuff I've never tried because of, #1 the price and #2 if I don't like it, and don't eat it..and if my husband and daughter try it and don't like it either... he gets mad because I " wasted money on something that no one will eat " .. and I get tired of hearing that line! So I just don't buy alot of different stuff. Well, I'm 29 yrs old, disabled, SAHM... Well... I'll hush now as I'm sure I've bored you poor people to death and you're going to kick me out for rambling on.... Hope everyone is having a good night or day... where ever ya'll are... Talk to you soon, I hope... Dallas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 12, 2007 Report Share Posted October 12, 2007 > I was also wondering about Chyote >Dallas Chyote is a fairly mild squash that is good lightly steamed and then served buttered. If your family does not like veggies very much then you might want to just get a small one and try it yourself. Cook it like you would a small, yellow crook neck or zucchini. mikef orygun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 12, 2007 Report Share Posted October 12, 2007 Hi Dallas! I hope you are enjoying the group I'm sure you will find lots of new ideas for veggies here. Feel free to ask questions! I have never tried Chyote. I have wasted money on stuff I didn't like, but I try to get new stuff when it is on sale so I don't waste too much money.

Guest guest Posted October 13, 2007 Report Share Posted October 13, 2007 Hey there... yeah, I'm learning to watch for certain stuff to go on sale so as I can try it without having to hear my husband rant and rave... lol... he's a tightwad! And I'm being totally serious... this man will actually pick up pennies out of mud holes... lol.. I usually save alot by going to wal mart ( as that's the only grocery store I trust around here) early in the mornings... around 8 am... that's when I get all kinds of stuff on sale... bagged fresh veggies, pizzas, salads... if I see a yellow or orange sticker, I go totally nuts!
