Help us settle the debate from this video: Which is better, chocolate or vanilla ice cream?

[@shirukivondream1313]

Vanilla!

[@almamelchor6252]

Vanilla is better than chocolate

[@jennakaufman4471]

Vanilla

[@kiliplaysgames2868]

Take the best of both worlds and go with choco-vanilla swirl!

[@blazequakes]

Chocolate

As a Puerto Rican, I'm happy to inform you that Mufongo is indeed made with plantains! Glad you enjoyed one of our many many dishes and went out of your way to support an actual local, Puerto Rican owned restaurant.

[@deniserobinson8294]

My sister's and I tried Mufungo last year when we went to Puerto Rico. I'm not a big plantain eater, but it was not bad. 😊

[@cinnamonrollsnake9470]

Mofongo is mashed plantan and I make it with some sazón,onions,red and green bell peppers and a little chicken broth.

[@courtneybultman]

I fully expected Emily to get to floor 17 and Ed already be there after taking the elevator because that's what I'd do. 😂

Happy belated 10 year anniversary !!!! (I loved the fellow cruise ship's hognose name 'Harley' ! Too cute)

[@maddied8542]

Mofongo recipe from my Puerto Rican mom: fry plantains in garlic and butter until the outside is barely crispy then use a mortar and pestal to mash the plantains with more garlic and bacon. They will be crispy and soft so they will take the shape of the bowl. Then you flip it over to get the dome shape. We eat it with Mayo-ketchup. Mix ketchup, mayo, and garlic to make a sauce to pour on it. We usually eat it with pork

[@clarehidalgo]

you an use pork rinds instead of bacon

[@carmenattallah6244]

Ooooo Dragonsong! You'll love it. My dad was a high school librarian and he would often recommend that for reluctant readers because it's a good story that just pulls you in. And if you want to go all the way, well, Anne McCaffrey was a very prolific author before she passed away.

[@Rolandbadger]

This as actually very enjoyable, even with minimal reptiles. Thanks Ed and Emily. It was very refreshing to see you two enjoying a much overdue vacation.

[@Berrystar776]

Yes very I watched this like 10 times in a single week 🙃

[@canfloyd]

You guys really deserved that break after all that hard work you put in to your animals and channel. I hope you guys really enjoyed it!

[@alyssagass146]

This was so awesome. "Dragonsong" was the first Anne McCaffrey book I ever read, and I loved it. The "Harper Hall" Trilogy is one that I can read over and over again.

[@Kaemea]

Masterharper of Pern is one of my all time favorites!

[@jannielsen9357]

Ditto and I love all the PERN books, think my favorite is 'Then White Dragon'

All Anne McCaffrey books are great! but I do love Pern. I mean DRAGONS!!!!

[@badanimates2026]

So true.

[@lcarrigan95]

As much as your reptile videos are so amazing and educational, I could get used to an Emily and Ed vlogging channel this felt really homey and lovely.

[@aru120]

you came to Puerto Rico!!!! so glad you enjoyed your vacays. Fried plantains are called Tostones, and you can eat them plain, or add some garlic sauce or ketchup or mayoketchup (best option). Mofongo is also made with plantains, you cut it in ~1 inch pieces, then you fry them until golden-brown, and then you mash them and add sides like chicken or shrimps in butter and garlic sauce.

[@sorayawatkins3626]

You guys deserved a vacation you work incredibly hard not just making KZbin videos for all of us to enjoy but you also run a full zoo at the same time enjoy your time together because vacations no matter how long they are can feel very short once it’s over

[@user-lx9hg5wp3x]

The Dragon Riders of Pern,which is the series of the book you're reading,is best in order so you understand all the nuances. One of my fav series!!!!!

That parrot place in Florida is amazing! The had a BLACK Cockatoo! Those are rare even back here in Australia!

[@adelheide1005]

I'm glad you guys enjoyed your cruise. I personally will never go into a cruise because when I visit a country I like to explore it for at least 3 weeks. Also, what I'm about to say may be controversial but I have visited many countries in the South American continent like Argentina, Costa Rica, Puerto Rico, Bolivia, and Peru.. my opinion is that the best food is in Peru.

Peru has the best food.

OMG, *Dragonsong*! That book was my *childhood*. It's probably the thing that sparked my obsession with dragons back in the day; it wouldn't be hard to draw a direct line from me getting that book to me owning a crested gecko today. That trilogy and the main Dragonriders of Pern trilogy were the books I brought with me to college to keep from getting lonely. Such fond memories - I hope you like it Emily!

[@benjaminfinlay829]

Ah, Dragonsong. I love the Dragonriders of Pern series - and all of Anne McCaffrey's works - but Dragonsong is one in particular that I fondly remember.

Anne McCaffrey! Awesome author...You MUST read her Dragohriders of Pern series, soooooo good! The original trilogy: Dragonsong (1976), Dragonsinger (1977), Dragondrums (1979). There are several others, prequels, sequels etc. Very much worth the read.
