Otherwise known as Chayote or Vegetable Pear (not much stretch on the imagination with that moniker) this selection of organic matter has a whole festival surrounding it in the Bywater neighborhood of Nola. They say that New Orleans has more festivals than days of the year, why not designate one to the fabulous Mirliton?

I was pleased to learn that there was a plethora of delicious food at this event, none of which was mirliton free. I had mirliton lemonade, mirliton jambalaya and most memorably mirliton crayfish bisque. Oh Em Gee that was good.
