Oh, this sounds so good Jo! BTW, ever since Ron saw you and Henry eat sardines out of a can when we shared lunch at AHS, he thinks it is cool. Before, when I was the only person he had ever seen do it, he thought it was a bit odd!

Do you know if you can get taro root on the East Coast (Florida). I asked my produce man and he didn’t seem to know about them. Can they go by another name?

  Becky,
  
  As far as finding Taro on the East coast I can assure you it’s possible, or at least it was for us in Boston… However, you will likely need to look for it at an Asian or Latin market. In Spanish Taro is known as “malanga” in Cuba or “yautia” in Puerto Rico. I hope this helps and please let us know if you found it and if you tried our recipe.
  
  Best in health,
  
  Henry
