Oh yum, it's Yukka!

D&C have kindly invited me to their home tonight where they shall be cooking for me, and feeding me, and all wonderful things like that.

On the menu? Something Cuban with something that looks like a pig's unshaved leg - Yukka root. I have never tried this thing called Yukka root before. They assure me it's tasty. I just hope it's tastier than the fried green banana they fed me last time. It tasted like mashed potato and my mind was playing tricks on me.

Mind: : It's a green banana.

Me: No, it's plantain

Mind: No, it's a green banana!

Me: Impossible. It tastes like mashed potato.

Mind: That's what green banana tastes like.

Yukka root. If any of you have eaten this odd-looking vegetable (???) before, please let me know your thoughts.
