Vegetarianism Made E-Z (Recipes and Stuff - NO debate allowed here!)

[norral]

i just wanted to add this veggie here. not really a recipe but plantain is very popular in the west indian /latin community. i grew up eating these as a kid. u can steam them or boil them or fry them. they are slightly sweet and chewy and a little bland so they go with everything. being yellow adding a little tabasco to them provides a very nice contrast. i have eaten a lot of them in my life. they do not raise blood sugar and are very filling i would call them a comfort food . when u buy them u want them to be very ripe green plantain is different than the very ripe plantain so its best to see a few black spots on the skin when u buy them
