Was at the Caribana festival (1 of the many events) in Toronto 2 nights ago to do some media coverage and to assist my sister with a food stall she had. The stall next to her’s were run by some (not sure if there’s a right word to use, but they were of Latin origin). They ended up teaching me something similar. they were peeling ripe plantins and cooking them in hot oil (deep fry). The most amazing thing ever. Yep.. they shared some with me.
I’ll try your banana suggestion soon.
