SUGAR CANE SUGAR

MATOKE  =  mashed plantains 

(staple food of Uganda)

wow....... 

now that the mystery has been solved......

According to Jekissa and MOG... 

google knows all......

Matoke and plantains are the same thing--

treated as a potato and a staple in many areas such as UGANDA.  

There are many recipes on line also..... but when we were in Uganda the only way I ever noticed it was hot mashed and sometimes wrapped in a banana leaf.   Knowing that it is thought of and served much like our potato really helps me.  I think I finally "got it".   

Coffee Beans grow on trees....  they are actually coffee berries.......

Bananas and Matoke look very much the same as far as I know...... so this is one or the other.. growing on a banana or matoke tree.......

The salesman said this was the easiest adapter available.....  I don't think so!!
