I guess I could sympathize, cause I never tried plantains before. <br /><br />And they still kept the focus on the food, not themselves. Which I seem to like much more than the people-focused vids.<br /><br />I will try the plantains after this. The baked ones. And whatever fried recipe you post :-)Liviahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07962873370468076540noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7173052990851751381.post-31035461497998211752011-03-03T10:25:33.785-05:002011-03-03T10:25:33.785-05:00I used to live in the Washington heights neighborh...I used to live in the Washington heights neighborhood of manhattan, which is roughly 90% dominican. It was there that I became so addicted to "Maduros" (fried sweet plantains, "Tostones" (fried starchy plantains) and "Mofongo" (Fried starchy plantains mashed with garlic and pork). <br /><br />There's still this little hole in the wall place on about 156th that makes these mindblowing maduros. The outside is pure crunchy, sugary caramelized plantain, and when you break through, the inside is so tender and sweet, it's almost like custard. It's called Margot, and most of the staff doesn't speak english. Thankfully they are really friendly, and will kindly put up with you as you point at the food on the menu. <br /><br />Here's the link on Yelp, http://www.yelp.com/biz/margot-restaurant-new-york<br /><br />the rest of the food is astounding also, but those plantains... I mean, I live in Brooklyn now, and it would be about an hour and a half to get there, and yet right now, I am totally willing to make that trip.Chargeorgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04105738253659214579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7173052990851751381.post-36568440269997535122011-03-03T04:56:05.595-05:002011-03-03T04:56:05.595-05:00Its true, I would never have started stalking aver...Its true, I would never have started stalking averagebetty or Follow Me Foodie if you hadnt posted their videos here and my life would have been poorer for it.

Ridiculous. <br /><br />I have no use for people who create and share nothing themselves, yet have the nerve to critique what others post. I've been sharing other content from the web on days I have none since I started the blog, and will continue to so so.<br /><br />Getting traffic is not easy, so to get a link on a higher traffic site like this can be a big deal to someone trying to build an audience.
