Desserts
Ok, you got it.
Try Platanos Fritos, that is Fried Bananas. This are special bananas, not the regular ones you have at breakfast, is Platano Macho wich translates to "male banana", is larger and with a different flavor. You have to wait until it's ripe (the "cover" gets black spots) to fry it in butter or oil, when it's well fried you can add cream or condensed (sugary) milk.
In the Yucatan peninsula and others parts it is used as companinon to some main dishes instead of potatoes, but also is a dessert when the cream or milk is added.
Another way to prepare them is baking them. This way it doesn't get cruncky but it's still very good. If you are on a diet this is the way to go.
Buen provecho
I haven't discovered the translation in English to this phrase in a way that expreses all the meaning of it. Is not only "enjoy your meal" is more than that, is wishing that you take advantage of your food and also that this food is good to you. Is like the French "bon apetit"
