•Le mirliton (la chayote) n’a pas de Christ. •Je suis fou d’amour pour le mirliton depuis mon enfance. •Je le mange en grande quantité à chaque fois que j’ai la chance. •J’ai entendu dire qu’il cause le dysfonctionnement érectile (chez les hommes). •Quant à ça, je ne suis pas là pour démentir personne, mais les gens qui croient à cette théorie peuvent demander à ma femme si c’est la vérité du bon Dieu. #mirliton #chayote #haïti https://www.instagram.com/p/CgFKjObOljU/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Sechium edule has one of the most beautiful leaves in my garden. Our Brazilian guest told me they call it chuchu and they eat it despite the fact that it is very bland. They also say chuchu for people who are bland and boring. 😂 #sechiumedule #chayote #mirliton #choko #cucurbitaceae #chouchou #clarkspumpkinparadise #ortifelici #provinciadimantova (presso La Macchina Fissa) https://www.instagram.com/p/CeXFwEJoo35/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Comparison of Eureka, Copplestone, Warlord, Mirliton, and Pig Iron Miniatures

Following a post on Trackside Picnic and comments by Pete of SP’s Project Blog, I thought I would post up some comparison pictures of a few miniature makers. I find myself searching for such comparisons when exploring new manufacturers and it can be difficult to find just the right pictures with the right miniatures in them. These comparison shots are invaluable, in my opinion, and so the…

Louisiana Mirliton

After Hurricane Katrina, New Orleanians banded together to save a beloved heirloom squash.

Mirliton stalks cling to trellises and chain link fences across New Orleans neighborhoods, filtering backyard light into a leafy green. Known as a chayote in its home country of Mexico and in most other parts of the United States, the Gulf Coast variety of this knobby, oblong green squash is uniquely adapted to the region’s humid climate. So well adapted, in fact, that in late autumn, the plants produce pounds of fruit, which grace every possible preparation: mirliton salad, mirliton pie (a sweet loaf similar to banana bread), even mirliton wine. Raw, its flesh is light and crunchy like jicama. Cooked, the mirliton collapses into moistness, with a light, zucchini-like taste.

The mirliton has been a staple in Louisiana, and particularly in New Orleans, since it was brought to the city in the early 19th century. Some say the mirliton was brought from Haiti during the 1791–1804 revolution, citing as evidence the fact that Haiti is the only other place to call the vegetable by this name. However it may have arrived in the Gulf Coast, the mirliton has made itself a fixture of the Louisiana table and cultural life, even inspiring a decades-long (though now discontinued) festival. Most iconically, perhaps, its stuffed preparation is a Louisiana Thanksgiving centerpiece. Cooks take the gourd’s hollowed-out flesh, mix it with breadcrumbs, shrimp, and ground meat, drown it in butter, and bake it back in the mirliton’s green shell.

Despite this popularity, for the past couple decades, the Gulf Coast’s mirliton population has been in decline. It began with the import of standardized, Central American chayotes into Louisiana. Less well-adapted, yet more commercially available, these varieties began displacing local heirlooms. By 2005, their population was already dwindling. Then, the storm blew in. The same winds and rains that devastated residents’ lives and property nearly wiped out the New Orleans mirliton population. After the storm, locals worried that Hurricane Katrina had taken a vital aspect of their culinary culture.

This threat was a call to action. Local food lovers and activists banded together to form the “Adopt-a-Mirliton ” project, which is now the full-fledged nonprofit Mirliton.org. The nonprofit is a center for all things mirliton, from growing tips to a classifieds board where small-scale growers can buy, sell, and exchange the fruit. Largely thanks to these efforts, the mirliton is enjoying something of a revival in New Orleans, where fall farmer’s markets now offer tables laden deep with stacks of the squash.

Need to Know

Locals and visitors can find mirlitons during their late fall season at multiple locations of the New Orleans–based Crescent City Farmer's Market.

In Hong Kong, we call this Buddha Palm Squash because it looks like a hand closed in prayer. We use it in broths and soups, and sometimes stir fries. My mother makes this into a soup for coughs which she unfailingly pours down our throats every winter!

バニラ、中がすごく空洞。クリームは若干ねっちょりだけど溶けやすく軽い。

チョコはバニラほど空洞は無くほろっとしてる。クリーム濃厚で固め、チョコが濃厚な生チョコって感じでおいしい。

ミルリトン　¥250

フランスの伝統的な菓子とのこと。パイの上にアーモンドクリーム。パイはうすい、アーモンドクリームはねっちょりしてて甘い。バターに全力で殴られる。

Chayote squash or mirliton is very low calories and rich source of dietary fiber. Here i added carrots that makes dish sweet because chayote alone have a mild sweet taste. It can be added to salads and slaws too not only for sautéing. Which we all know in the Philippines 🇵🇭 I would love to try more recipes of chayote for the next weeks such as salad and pie. • • • #chayote #sayote #mirliton #cooking #cookingwithlove #cookingvideo #lutoninanay #lutoko #masarapba #masarapba #passion #vienna_city #vienna #vegetable #carrot #carrots🥕 #recipe #recipeshare #recipeoftheday #recipevideo #cookingram #cookingathome #cookingtime #cookingtips #ginisangsayote #sauteedvegetables #sauteed #sauteedveggies #squash #dietary #fiber (hier: Vienna, Austria) https://www.instagram.com/p/B-Ey7T_pbPB/?igshid=1xklbun8b54kb

You Say Merliton, I Say Mirliton – A Merliton av noe annet navn smaker like søtt!

For de av dere som ikke bor i verken California, Florida, Louisiana eller Latin-Amerika, er du kanskje ikke kjent med en merliton.

De refererer alle til denne allsidige gourdlignende grønnsaken som er dyrket rundt i verden og kalt av forskjellige navn. Historisk sett var det en primær mat for…
