古巴冷知識： 不一樣的芋頭，炸着吃

黃肉芋 malanga 是古巴的一種很常見的食物，它和芋頭很像。

古巴人通常把它攪成泥，然後裹上蒜香的麪糊炸着吃，吃的時候會蘸蜂蜜。

Bite-sized nuggets of fried malanga are the perfect snack food. Malanga is a root vegetable similar to taro. The malangas are peeled, grated down into a paste and added to a batter of egg, garlic and spices before hitting the frying pan or deep fryer. They’re served as an appetizer or side dish, often with honey for dipping, with the sweetness complementing the savory fried flavor. You might also see the fritters placed on the table with a small bowl of fruit syrup instead of honey.

可以一口吃下的炸黃肉芋是古巴最好的零食了。黃肉芋是一種類似芋頭的塊根類蔬菜。黃肉芋去皮，並磨成糊狀，然後把它倒入用雞蛋、大蒜和香料調成的糊狀物中，之後再放入煎鍋或油炸鍋中烹飪（就做成了這道菜）。這道菜可作爲開胃菜或配菜，通常可以蘸着蜂蜜食用，蜂蜜的甜味與炸黃肉芋的美味搭配在一起就更完美了。你可能還會看到桌子上的油炸餡餅，另外，桌上可能會有一小碗果汁糖漿，而不是蜂蜜。
