Plantains and green bananas. They are superior to the potato, imo, and can be prepared in just as many ways (fried, pickled, boiled, mashed, in a salad, in soup, served hot, served cold etc etc) and usually need nothing except salt, and maybe a little vinegar or garlic if the recipe calls for it, to bring out their flavor. Very versatile.
There is also fried cheese, but of a specific kind. The kind with little water, that is crumbly, without lactose, and is mostly just curds seasoned with a little salt, which I think is common here in Latin America. It’s low melting point means it retains this wonderful, spongy-but-not-quite-airy texture when shallow fried, and keeps its shape. Little cubes of these, on a Friday night, cure my soul.
I’m not sure I agree with everything saddamhussein is saying regarding patsocs and Israeli settler colonialism, but I do agree a mountain has been made out of a molehill here.
