i'm sorry ...I checked Wikipedia that's extraordinarily thorough: i won't be in a position to locate an English call for it ...it relatively is stated as Sapodilla in Spanish; comes from Mexico (Botanical: Manikara zapota) Chikoo is its Indian call; there's a recipe for Chikoo Halwa on the NDTV internet site, in case you like one ...
