Plantain in the membrane

There aren't many things you can't fry up and turn into a snack food. I'm just looking around the room right now--coffee table, kitty cat, Robert Redford/Barbara Streisand--all these things could be delicious snacks if prepared the right way.

I moved to NYC yesterday and today I experienced my first trip to the grocery store. I got the essentials--plantain chips. I expected them to taste like bananas. I'm so ashamed. They actually taste similar to potato chips. But they're healthier. I compaired the nutrition stats of plantain chips to my roomie Brittany's regular potato chips. Potato chips have 150 more mg of sodium per serving than plantain chips.

Of course if you like things salty (like Brittany who put something back at the store BECAUSE it said "low sodium") then you might want to frequent your neighborhood salt lick.
