YUM!!!
YUMM YUMMY YUMMMMMY! It was great, never thought Choko could taste this great. It's such an absorbent vegetable and soaks up all the yummy flavours of this dish! I used to just roast choko for Sunday dinner but not anymore, this is now in my meal rotation :) Highly recommended for you to all try this!

They use to be "a dime a dozen" vegetable! Isn't it amazing what comes back from the past. Mind you, the way they were prepared back then wasn't exactly exciting.They were treated as back fence "decoration and to cover unslightly out buildings and substitute for apples in cooking! It's marvelous what one culture can do to bring them to make and make them another very useful vegetable. Thank's Luke for another wonderful recipe!

Going to try this tonight. Saw it on the show and thought I'd give it a go. Chokos bring back memories of my dear Pop who always used to have a choko vine, and of my grandma who used to boil the absolute life out of them until they were a grey-ish pulp (as was the fashion of the day with vegetables!). They are such an unpopular vegetable (fruit?) that when I bought them, the checkout guy didn't even know what they were.

As Patricia said I was also delighted to see your recipe for chokoes. This is a much maligned vegetable (Burke on his program once said "one of nature's little jokes" but I cannot agree with that statement) and we now have another vine which will be producing shortly. They sell in shops for $2 each but hardly anyone buys them and I have difficulty in even giving away the abundant fruit we obtain from our vine every year. Looking forward to making this recipe in particular.
