Great flavor! I cut out the sugar, substituted the red wine vinegar for apple cider vinegar. I ate it today as a simple salad topper. Easy and tasty!

First time cooking this squash, so I am not sure how I should rate it. I did it according to the recipe, but the flavors just didn't really do it for me. My boyfriend didn't really eat his either. I'm not sure though if I cooked them right, because, as I said, I've never really made this squash before. They were pretty firm. I might experiment with the squash again but with different flavors.

Very good, spicy! I think I will try it without the vinegar for the second time-still a winner! I did not have red pepper flakes, but used McCormack's Szechuan pepper blend.

Got some chayote from a food bank and used this recipe because I never saw/cooked/ate it before. I didn't have any lime juice but I used lemon juice, added ginger, onions, garlic & whole peppercorns. Came out *AWESOME*

I'm not much for spicy food so I used less crushed red pepper flakes than called for. Also, I wanted to try this with the lime juice, as suggested, but forgot to pick some up, so I had to use the vinegar. Even so, I really liked this and will make it again.

For me, the sweetness of the squash and the sugar combined with the acidity of the lime, gave it the exact flavor of a honey lemon cough drop. The only saving grace was the heat from the pepper flakes. My husband liked it though, so maybe it's a taste issue.

The flavor was too overpowering for the squash. Tasted like pickled squash or something. This didn't do it for me.

I had chayote inside latin soups and liked it a lot so thought I'd try it as a side dish. But I did not like this at all. Threw it out.
