When I first came to the States, I thought they are bananas and bought some. Then when I ate them, I realized that it is something different. So my first touch was not good :( But I ate fried plantains at a restaurant in Little Havana, Miami, and they were delicious. One day, I'll try, hopefully. Aalso, I love that breads. Are you going to give the recipes for the breads or should I email you and ask for the recipes?
