    This recipe sounds interesting. I know I’ve had taro before but what exactly is it? It it like a veggie? Is it like a sweet potato? Is it sweet?

    Here’s a good link for some of the info: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taro

    It really has no taste on its own which is why sugar or spices need to be added to it. It’s a starch that was used to reduce the saltiness of cured meats. It MUST be well cooked or else it can scratch your throat. This dish should be a little sweeter.
