Yep! This one was a little over ripe and the roti was more like a curried meal in dough! Very dry.

I love avocado with anyting...yet to find a guacamole I like though, just give it to me straight! Avocado and farine? Man,

My investments in P&G shares, manufacturers/distributors of Charmin, should be safe now.

I have no idea the type of roti really...it was chicken with bone in...not a lot of Curry and kinda dry.

I did not need any Charmin, my stomach loves that stuff!

I could never forget when I was six,we used to have bake,it was about twice the thickness of the saada roti,my mother used to boil some half ripe bananas and then fry it with saltfish,the bananas were about 2 or 3 inches long,we had that for breakfast sometimes.I still have plantain for breakfast about 3 times a week,fried an make a sandwich with bread.

Good stuff! Fried plantains are the best!

Some of my favorite caribbean foods are plantains, avocados, farine, black dasheen (in a Bonito broth?) Mmmmmm. Sweet Potato and there's a red ground provision that looks like a beet/potato, I want to say Kooch, not sure!

I don't know what black dasheen is,I would be looking for it because it could be an addition to my Caribbean soup.

 
Ayenmol 2017-02-08 15:17:31 

In reply to granite

There is the normal dasheen, kinda Brown inside, keeps hard with normal cooking. Then there's a black one that turns almost purple when cooked. Sweeter and softer. Great for soups and broth.

that was the key ingredient in German's Eddoe Soup ... if you from G/T

I can understand why the black dasheen would be better,because the other one remains hard no matter how long yuh boil it.When I spoke to a Jamaican bloke at work a few years ago,he didn't know what was dasheen.I think Jamaicans have a different name for it.

cool

In reply to granite

Even the hispanics call it something else.

 
Ayenmol 2017-02-08 21:33:49 

In reply to Emir

It's difficult to find online...I see whathat looks like Tannia passed as taro and what looks like sweet potato labeled as yam.

Tannia, dasheen and koushkoush are similar family but very different in taste. Looks like Jamaicans call them coco and Spanish, taro. But these are all different and there are varied types within each provision.

I wish someone would chronicle these things with detailed pictures from their state in the ground to after being cooked,

Fruit trees for days on a small parcel of land!

Man that makes me yearn for Island life!

Yeah...xcept this is where he grew up and most of the exotics were recently planted!

The Dominican plot was just growing wild and most of it is grown and bearing.

But definitely shows how much stuff can be grown in the Islands.
