Bananas, okra, yam, chillis, soursop, sweet potatoes, moonflower etc.

Groundnut stew - or, for even more authenticity, palm oil stew.
The former needs a team to make it properly, and isn't worth it
for less than a dozen people. Follow it by fried plantains.

I couldn't help thinking how absolutely typical of this chancer,
to get someone else to do the spadework for him. I suppose,
though, that it's progress - to get a tacit admission that he
doesn't know *everything*!

But you must admit that Nick's reply is a gem, even if it goes unrecognised!
