[@elainecooper7837]

Beautiful love it

[@veronicaroberts248]

This dish was a fav5of mine as a child. Thank you, Ms Debbie, for bringing it back 😍😍

[@beverleyguthrie8513]

In my early teens I make cho cho porridge and even take some for my mother who was at work yeah man cho cho porridge 😄😄 buy I like it in soups when I am doing mix vegetables and stir fry in Dominica they call it Cristofeine

[@patriciaayoung1202]

We call it christophene in Trinidad. Never had it like this but will definitely it try this way. Stay safe and keep those videos coming from Patricia Ayoung

[@gelplat]

In St Lucia as well we call it Christophine 😁

[@angel9bigrose96]

Yes Ms Debbie saltfish and Cho Cho nice and salt fish is also nice when cook with cucumbers one love blessings to you and family

[@bonitaweekes4366]

We call it Christophene and cook it as a vegetable, it is good for Diabetics. It is a member of the squash family, can be eatened cooked or raw, when raw it is grated in to salads. Those are old and we would keep them for planting. I cook it in my vegatables, beans, carrots, christophene, broccoli, it can be also stuffed, done as a casserole. When we do pudding and souse and cucumbers are scarce or too expensive just grate in some christophene with the cucumbers you have. It is grown all over the Caribbean and in the southern states of the USA.

IN my country when they start sending out sprouts they are ready for planting .Definately gonna do a follow up video and highlight the ones that can be planted .TFS

[@knowledge_knowsblake7396]

Seriously, Ms. Debbs, it's true in my case...only when I'm making soups I'll use Cho Cho. Come to think of it... as a child in Ja, I had it in saltfish stew. Very nice! Thanks for sharing and stirring up memories, Ms. Debbs.

[@sheretasimmonds9966]

Love it Mama Deb sometimes i do it with curry and coconut milk, nice with some soft green bananas

[@zochbuppet448]

I dont remember that as a kid, but its similar to a green Caribbean long squash. Cooking style is similar Guyanese country cooking...that originated with Indians, as they tended not to eat a lot of meat . You catch any type of meat, saltfish, shrimp, fry fish etc you have on hand and you cook it with some type of vegetable you have. 100 different ways you can can mix, and match, plain, or brown, with tomatoes or more like a stew looking or with curry if if you want

[@rosesewell4838]

Yes miss. Debbie my mom always cook it saltfish put it in soup and meat. Good dish chocho
