Chubas and the Aroid Cookbook

From: Rosalind <rozgold at pacbell.net> on 2004.08.17 at 02:49:13(12003) Julius and friends: I think it would be great for folks to re-publish the edible aroid recipes - this whole discussion has made me both hungry and curious - for example, do Xanthosoma "Chubas" mash as well as the taro used in Asian cooking? Do they have a distinctive flavor in stews, or do they just do a good job of soaking up whatever sauce/broth they're in? I just had some delicious duck, chopped into bite-size pieces, coated in taro, and deep-fried at a Hong-Kong style Chinese restaurant in the San Gabriel Valley this weekend - and it was great to see how many other dishes were offered that used taro as an ingredient. Also, Julius, off-topic, do you know if there's any place in the United States that sells Diet Mauby Fizz? I got seriously addicted to the soda when I was vacationing in Trinidad a few years ago, and I've never been able to find it any place else. thanks! -Roz, in Southern California
