Thanks CARIB, I have not heard the word dasheen for decades. Our mother used to prepare it for us.
Bhai, you stirring a lot of emotions hea and I am not a young kid.
Tola,
Do you ever had young tanya leaves chopped up and cooked with coconut milk, that's the best.
I prefer tanya and eddoes any day before Irish potatoes, don't get them here.
