Nice recipes, Sarge. Thanks.

I love baigan choka, made with bits of garlic placed in the slits (as in your recipe) and then roasted.

Baigan in Guyana is baigan or boulanger.

Not yet. I will propose it to the wife, but it might cost me!!! smile

Guyanese make two somewhat similar (I think) plantain dishes: foofoo and kangkee. I don't think we put garlic in either, but I like garlic overall. Chrissy or some other Guyanese might know if Pong Plantain (Pounded Plantain?) is similar to either foofoo or kangkee.
