Let's see...

1. Papaya - the ripe ones we eat as a fruit while the unripe ones are kinda used as a vegetable.On the other hand, papayas which are not yet fully ripe are eaten by dipping it in a vinegar-salt mixture;
2. Chayote - called sayote in the Philippines is considered to be a vegetable and is used in some Filipino dishes;
3. Aguacate - is that an avocado? if it is, we usually use it in avocado shake.
4. Jicamas - called singkamas in the Philippines and is used in salads or is dipped in a vinegar-salt mixture.
5. Cheese - there are different kinds of cheese sold in the Philippines and it comes in different shapes and sizes. I usually eat cheddar cheese which taste salty. With respect to locally made cheese, all I know is the "kesong puti" (white cheese), however, I haven't eaten kesong puti so I don't know how it tastes.

I am not familiar with some of the things that you listed but other Filipinos might know about them.

Kesong puti originally spelled as Quesong Puti ( literally translated as white cheese ) is from carabao's milk.
It is my favourite local cheese. It is soft and salty, a bit like Goat cheese.

Hi Friends! let me add some.. =)

Also, Carabao Mozzarella Cheese and Pastillas de Leche in Nueva Ecija Province. I've tried once almost similar to the traditional Mozzarella Cheese though less oily for me. (though the review had an other comment on the texture)

Available in some local supermarket around GMA areas

I love Pastillas de Leche that is really made from
Carabao's milk. It's so soft and yummy.

Pastillas de Leche is another Spanish contribution to our culture. I guess almost all of our traditional pastries and sweets are all influenced by Spain including Yemas, Polvorones, turrones although I prefer our polvoron and yemas than the Spanish ones.

The way people sells fruit?

How about these?





Mangos & Jicamas con chile,


My guess is you don't use these items like this, do you?





Guacamole & Elotes con crema y chile



By the way CAJETA or DULCE DE LECHE was born in Celaya Guanajuato, and pass it over the rest of the Latin countries.
well we eat grilled corn and we usually put butter or just eat like that. The avocado I just put cube ice, milk and put little sugar then eat or just make a shake. hmmm is that ripe mango? we also eat jicama or singkamas but we don't have the orange or red powder that you put.
