I absolutely adore plantains, especially when they're in savoury dishes, and lend their dark, heavy texture to a soup or stew, or as patacones (tostones), or in a curry, or however! They're sooo good.Dinohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12012498879329379828noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4093476615153423637.post-62468820556258858242007-08-24T11:00:00.000-04:002007-08-24T11:00:00.000-04:00I miss plaintains so very much, I lived in Costa R...I miss plaintains so very much, I lived in Costa Rica for a summer and literally have had them in every possible preparation (including soup, which was made in a veggie broth with ginormous hunks of yuca, plantain, carrots, potatoes, etc. and a LOT of wild cilantro. I wasn't a fan of the soup, boiled plantains are NOT my favorite thing). Fried plantains cannot be beat. Platanos and yuca are things that I miss very, very much. (grocery stores here, in Ohio, carry the former, but it really bad quality, espcially if you've been spoiled by having trees in the backyard)<BR/>PV<BR/>Alanna<BR/>(ticacora from the VF forums)Dandelions_In_Her_Hairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07368299281738535480noreply@blogger.com
