Pastelle Recipe here...
in Trinidad and Tobago banana trees are also called 'fig trees'; so we talk about 'green fig' and 'fig leaf'
so therefore the haiku from the image could we read locally as
fig trees
fig leaves will wrap pastelles
for Christmas menus

lovely haiga and delicious, Gillena ...i love the smell of those pastelles in smoked banana leaves :)
ReplyDeletewe do make pastelles wrapped in banana leaf -- there's a simple sweet one with coconut grating and banana slice, cardomom and jaggery/sugar; and non-veg too -- but the Trini mix seem different --(haha i have made it a whole recipe post!
but i never knew banana trees were called fig,

ReplyDeleteseems T&T and Kerala, we do have a lot in common; there was at high school a girl we also called Pamee, i think though a more correct spelling for the 'sweet pastelle' would be paymee, again thats my spelling of the word, hope i got it right this time :)
