Cut the chayotes in half lengthwise and place them in a 2 to 3 quart
saucepan. Cover them with cold h2o, and bring to a boil over high
oestrus.
Reduce the heat to low, cover the pan and simmer for 30 proceedings, or
until the chayotes show no resistance when pierced with the tip of a
minor, sharp tongue. Drain the chayotes in a large cullender. When
the chayotes are cool enough to address, remove the seeds with a small
spoonful. Then soap[ out the flesh, leaving a layer of pulp around 1/8
inch thick intact in the shield. In a large mixing bowlful, mash the pulp
with a fork until it is perfectly polish. Then beat in, a little at
a time, the egg, sherry and ground nutmeg. Add the raisins, sugar
and crumbled bar, and beat back. Then filling should have the
consistency of mashed potatoes and should hold its shape in a spoonful;
if it seems too cut, add more cake crumbs.

the weft, mounding the top somewhat, and dot with the tonsils.
Arrange the shells side by side in a buttered baking dish and bake
for 15 transactions, or until the top of the filling is golden.
Serve the chayotes form the baking dish or arrange them on a
