I was talking with a cook in Cap Haitien. She was cooking chayote squash. I was told that they were called "mirliton" in French and "konkonb" in Creole. I thought konkonb was cucumber. What's the story? If chayote is konkonb, how do you say "cucumber"?
Chayote
squash is Mirliton (militon
in Creole)
Cucumber
is konkonm (you will most likely find
the small cucumber in Haiti)
