A World Full of Plantains

# The Caribbean cook will often use fried plantains as an accompaniment to beef or goat dishes.
# In Central America plátanos fritos are often served as part of a large breakfast of eggs, ham and refried beans and topped with a big dollop of crema.
# Known as tajadas de plátano in Venezuela, this lightly sweet side dish is an essential component of pabellón criollo.
# Nigerians love fried plantains, especially with fish, and call them dodo
