Dear Anne,
                Did you read my receipe for calaloo, and what did you think of 
it as a fellow W.Indian?  We do something simular to your fried Dasheen 
"fingers", but with raw grated Tannia [Xanthosoma sagittifolia], the white of 
an egg,chopped onion, garlic, etc. fried in hot oil.  It`s called "tannia 
fritters"
