Carla must know, since she loves plantains: Buy *very* uniformly yellowed plantains, gently wash them and pat them dry, then store them in a cool dry place until they become _completely_ black (some whitening may happen, that is fine!). Peel and cut them just like you did here (be careful as they will be VERY mushy!) and fry them in a gentle heat. They will become super crispy, caramelize and become almost like a mix between a hard candy and a mush of absolute plantain goodness. Bonus plantain recipe: Take green plantains, cut them in cube-ish chunks, fry those lightly, in gentle heat, then crush them to about 1/3 inches tall "patties" and fry them again (in gentle heat) until they golden like fries. These "tostones" are amazing with special sauce (ketchup + mayo) and grated Queso blanco (a salty, hard, crumbly white cheese)

Sky Nicholls I would recommend Sambusas or Ethiopian food as a jumping in point as a Westerner. Honestly the biggest difference is that there's a lot of African food that you eat with your hands.

Never had the chance to eat african food. None at all but it looks great.

[@PumpkinHeadLemure]

North African sure. The rest of it... no thanks.

Man! What a great episode! The three of these guys have such great chemistry. Felt like this is the most comfortable I've seen Andy in one of these episodes. So awesome.
