Love Testones but they love my butt and waistline. They are part of many, many daily diets in the DR. Cheap and readily available. The potato of Latin America.
They are cheap! majority of Dominicans are very poor. I remember eating platanos for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Seafood stuffed totones are amazing. Mangu mixed in with chrushed chicharones are also good. Also, ripped plantains have no equals.
