Malunggay

I don't know what malunggay is in English. (Many have e-mailed me that it's horseradish tree. Thanks!). I don't even know what dish it's used for. I never liked it and probably won't start to like it. It's called kamalunggay in Akeanon and sometimes also called as kalamunggay. I got so many flames because I stated above that I don't know what it's for and probably won't like it. Well, I never liked it and probably will not like it. I'm sure a lot of you like it but I don't. It's too stringy and fibrous as a vegetable. So there.

It's a tree and its fruit which is long like a string bean but bigger in diameter is also used as a vegetable, so far as I can recall.
