古巴冷知识： 不一样的芋头，炸着吃

黄肉芋 malanga 是古巴的一种很常见的食物，它和芋头很像。

古巴人通常把它搅成泥，然后裹上蒜香的面糊炸着吃，吃的时候会蘸蜂蜜。

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.

可以一口吃下的炸黄肉芋是古巴最好的零食了。黄肉芋是一种类似芋头的块根类蔬菜。黄肉芋去皮，并磨成糊状，然后把它倒入用鸡蛋、大蒜和香料调成的糊状物中，之后再放入煎锅或油炸锅中烹饪（就做成了这道菜）。这道菜可作为开胃菜或配菜，通常可以蘸着蜂蜜食用，蜂蜜的甜味与炸黄肉芋的美味搭配在一起就更完美了。你可能还会看到桌子上的油炸馅饼，另外，桌上可能会有一小碗果汁糖浆，而不是蜂蜜。
