We finally took our camera to the feria. Check out all the yummy fruits and veggies.
There are a lot of alternatives to potatoes, here are a couple.. in front of the papaya and pineapples are yucca and camote. People also cook up both yellow and green plantains.
Papaya!
Chayote, kind of like a cross between squash and potato. Especially good in soups and stir fries.
These little green bananas are called gineas. Another potato alternative, they are great sliced and deep fried with cream cheese, the same as green plantains. That dish is called 'patacones' in Costa Rica and Panama, 'tostones' in Nicaragua.
