Chayote
Chayote (; previously placed in the obsolete genus ''Sechium''), also known as christophine, mirliton, güisquil, and choko, is an edible plant belonging to the gourd family, Cucurbitaceae. This fruit was first cultivated in Mesoamerica between southern Mexico and Honduras, with the most genetic diversity available in both Mexico and Guatemala. It is one of several foods introduced to the Old World during the Columbian Exchange. At that time, the plant spread to other parts of the Americas, ultimately causing it to be integrated into the cuisine of many Latin American nations. The chayote fruit is mostly used cooked. When cooked, chayote is usually handled like summer squash; it is generally lightly cooked to retain the crispy consistency. Raw chayote may be added to salads or salsas, most often marinated with lemon or lime juice, but is often regarded as unpalatable and tough in texture. Whether raw or cooked, chayote is a good source of Vitamin C. Although most people are f ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Choko (cup)
A consists of the Bottle, flask and cups used to serve ''sake''. ''Sake'' sets are most often in Japanese pottery, but may be wood, lacquered wood, glass or plastic. The flask and cups may be sold individually or as a set. Sake cups are normally small, with variable shapes but based on traditional bowls used for tea. They are normally without handles, and most often without stems. Server The server of a ''sake'' set is a flask called a ''tokkuri'' (). A ''tokkuri'' is generally bulbous with a narrow neck, which tends to be called a "flask" in English, but may have a variety of other shapes, including that of a spouted vessel (''katakuchi''), similar to a Western teapot. Traditionally, heated ''sake'' is often warmed by placing the ''sake''-filled ''tokkuri'' in a pan of hot water, and thus the narrowed neck would prevent the heat from escaping. In more authentic places such as ''oden'' bars and ''ryōtei'' in Japan, sake is sometimes warmed and served in metal containers kn ...
