What would you cook for me?

falafel could loosely be described as a vegetarian meatball....its roughly the shape of a meatball, and deep fried, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. its usually moderately but very flavorfully spicy, and is mostly composed of chickpeas (aka garbanzos)

its very common in middle eastern cooking.




plaintains are similar to bananas, and may be cooked in any number of ways, and common to carribbean cooking.


edit: or just follow autentique's wiki links. they'll give you more info than i did, and she beat me to it

 

dang it, Ima have to fry up some plantains this weekend.

 

This was a fun thread.

 

I like felafels, I think they are probably the only decent meat substitute besides chick pea burgers.

 

It has to be sweet to be any good.

 

Yes I knew that you were Dominican.

What I did not know was that they grew there.

I have never actually been to your country yet. I suspected they did.

Have you ever had dragon fruit?

 

I eat dragonfruit all the time in Thailand. It's great straight from the fridge.
