In our fourth meeting we again went into the supermarket but this time to talk about vegetables. Similar to fruits there are a lot of vegetables in St. Maarten that we would have to seek out in some specialty store to find them here. One example is the cassava which I know as Yuca. Cassava or Yuca can be found not only in the Carribean but in most Middle- and Southamerican Countries. I know the Yuca plant from my time in Costa Rica where I was really confused why these “potatoes look so white and weird” until I found out it is not a potatoe but actually a kind of root!
Regarding herbs however we share more similarities. Mint for example is very common in Germany and St. Maarten very similar uses and also Parsley (which is my favorite herb <3).
