    You should NEVER sugar plantain!! I am Jamaican and have never done that. The plantain is very sweet so you do not need sugar. Never heard such nonsense. Also we don't cut our plaintain into cubes-Which island on earth did you find this recipe??! It must be Video Jug Island!

    Definitely you do not add sugar to unripped plantain. I you want the sweet tasting plantain why don;t you choose a ripped plantain which is naturally sweet any way. For more plantain and tropical recipes you can email a very good company in Milton Keynes africuline@yahoo.co.uk for some unique interesting and delicious African recipes as well as visiting the restaurants mentioned above.

    There are many 'tropical' restaurants in major UK cities where you can get recipes that TRULY reflect the cuisine found in such areas of the world. Using unripe, bitter plantains and adding sugar is not done. Ever. Here are the addresses of 2 restaurants; I'm sure they'll be glad to help you on presenting African/Carribean/tropical recipes: (1) Mama Calabar-3rd Floor, Dexion House, 2-4 Empire Way, Wembley,London, HA9 OXA. Tel: 08717040719. (2) Afro-Carribean restaurant: 5 Felton Str,Islington,London,N1 5NA. Tel: 0871 075 2592. This is 2007, pls let your presentations be fair to all cultures. Thanks.

    as usual, you have failed to mention which country this recipe comes from. And what does 'tropical' mean, there are many countries in Asia with tropical weather... If you are going to include African food recipes, be sincere and make the effort to get proper recipes from reputable African restaurants that are dotted all over this country! Muesli is of Swedish or Nordic origin, last time I checked!!

    Could someone please tell me which Tropical country sugars their plantain instead of using maduro (sweet) ones to begin with? Also which country has museli for breakfast? I want to know so i can avoid going there.
