Ann and Suzy...... BLUGGER is a relation of the Banana....it looks like a banana is a bit fatter.....it MUST be cooked...either in casserole or steamed or.....sliced and fried with sugar....best way. Plantain must also be cooked....same as blugger but before it is ripe sliced really thin and fried and then salted - chips! lovely.. They can be cooked green (unripe) or ripe (best for frying) Banana is also eaten green as a vegetable only then it is called green fig. Suzy...spices - anything to hand really, be adventurous. My husband uses cloves in stews too but just use mixed spices or thyme and Rosemary...they also use Bay leaf but it's not quite the same as ours. Sythe here is a bit like spring onions but they use it all the green as well. Jacquie xxxx

Thank you for that info Jacquie. I think Stewed chicken is on the menu next week. I'll let you know how it goes. Tonight i am making a tuna salad with red onion, cannellini beans, olives, cuecumber, toms and boiled eggs, plus fresh bread. What are you having? Suzy :o) x

Weetabix..... a late breakfast!!!!! Later, probably Salt Fish either curried with rice or souse....with Yam (if we've got any left!) Breadfruit if we can find one somewhere! and Pumkin....got them. Jacquie xxx
