Papaya Salsa

I've made my popular Black Turtle Bean and Red Pepper Chilli so that we could have enchiladas for supper in the the next few days. To accompany the enchiladas I sometimes make my own tomato salsa or even one with the added crunch of celery.  However, as I still had half a papaya in the fridge left over from the  'Mauritian Beef' Soy Chunk and Papaya Curry early in the week, I thought I'd try my hand at making a papaya fruit salsa.  

I knew it would work, as I've tried both pineapple salsa and mango salsa in the past, but I did not know how much I would like it.  So what was the verdict?!

Vegan 'Beef' Soy Chunks and Green Papaya Curry

The past few days I have been feeling rather ravenous in my appetite.  I want to snarl, bite and spit. No just kidding, but I have been wishing to sink my teeth (recently checked by the dentist)  into something of more substance , something with a bit more texture.  

Soy chunks don't often appear on my homely menu, soy mince maybe for Shepherdess Pie or Tamale Pie, but not so much soy chunks.  This was the time to try it in an attempt to substitute it for the real thing - beef.
