My Top 5 Favorite Food Pick
Teddy of Fun With Your Food tagged me for my Top 5 list. Well, who doesn't know what list I'm talking about? Awesome...she actually got me to post!
JACKFRUITS
I still remember sitting on the bamboo floor while with greasy hands we would pick the golden edible parts of the fruit from the spread of banana leaves...
Jackfruit is mostly grown in Asia and Brazil. Though the canned version, which is available in Asian markets, is nothing like the fresh fruit, I still think it is worth your try.
FRESH YOUNG COCONUT
The flesh with the juice... nothing like it! Try it as a drink (or popsicle!) with added sugar and it is beyond words.
CASSAVA
I could say much about these roots, but here's Wikipedia for you.
SUMAN (Sticky Rice Wrapped in Banana Leaves)
The photo is of the grated cassava instead of the sticky or glutinous rice, but you get the picture. The cassava version is as exotic as good anyway.
Young (unripe) Jackfruit in Coconut Milk would have been my #5, but since I already have the fruit on the list, I went with...
BANANA BLOSSOMS IN COCONUT MILK
Here's one of the recipes I found online.
I have seen fresh banana blossoms at Asian markets, but have never been that adventurous as to tackle it myself. They do have the canned version as well, but naturally, it would be an inferior replacement.
Most likely you have posted your own Top 5, but if not, I tag you!
