Hi Jerry Thanks for taking the time to comment. Your message highlights the importance of understanding variance in local languages and terms. Here in Trinidad (which is the country I live in and am from, and the culture of cuisine I specialise in, what you call papaya we -do- call pawpaw). I am aware that in other countries this fruit is called papaya which is why I have used both terms in the header. It is no different from calling football, soccer Just a difference in geographic norms Best wishes!

A pawpaw is a completely different fruit than the papaya. They may have a similar outward appearance but that’s where all similarity stops. I live in Michigan, where the pawpaw was once so popular we even named a city after it.

Thanks for sharing this recipe! Papaya also leads the list of foods that have been shown to hasten clearance of the HPV virus. With all of the controversy over whether women should get the vaccine, I have seen few recommendations on this, even though solid evidence was published in the journal “Cancer”. Great recipe for anyone who has had an abnormal Pap smear and been diagnosed with HPV!
