    I love 'em. One of the things I really disliked about Cuba was the dearth of plantain and green bananas. They've become a bot of a staple in the house. We only eat them once every couple of weeks, but as soon as they are gone we are looking to replace them

    April 13th, 1995. It was my 9th birthday. On a cruise ship, docked in Jamaica. I was all dressed up, wearing a suit. The waiter insisted I try the plantains. So I did. After all, he hadn't steered me wrong yet. Within seconds, however, the plantains I'd eaten were back on the plate, ruining my birthday dinner.

    You're not alone there. I'd already been a screen printer for 15 years in 1995.

    Fair play, guys. I feel old all the time. Some people I go to school with were born in 1995.

    It's been 20 years, so my memory is a little fuzzy, but I believe they were fried.

    I eat a lot of weird stuff, but I think plantains and I just don't get along.
