A: The Ivory Coast is located in West Africa on the southern coast and is one of the worlds biggest producers and exports of cocoa, palm oil and coffee! C: So get your taste buds ready for a spicy delicassy from the other side of the world. THEME SONG:Shania Twain's "Man I Feel Like a Woman" 2nd chorus!

Retrieved from "http://recipes.wikia.com/wiki/Aloco_%28Deep-fried_plantain%29" -The basic kitchen appliances in the average house in the Ivory Coast is pretty much what we have here, just that there are a few extra special appliances for their culture. They use mallets for grinding, ovens and wooden pestelles. Unfortunatly we do not have any of those today, but we found a way to make it work without one.  - What's really interesting is that all the coast's food is prepared in something called cabashes. And what they are, is a bowl that is made from the dried hollowed out shell of gourde-like fruit, from something called a calabash tree!
 * 5-6 plantaine [|bananas] [[image:http://tbn0.google.com/images?q=tbn:MdWqgEzfn75JNM:http://www.all-creatures.org/recipes/images/plantain-baked.jpg width="118" height="112" link="http://images.google.ca/imgres?imgurl=http://www.all-creatures.org/recipes/images/plantain-baked.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.all-creatures.org/recipes/plantain-baked.html&h=312&w=328&sz=13&hl=en&start=11&tbnid=MdWqgEzfn75JNM:&tbnh=112&tbnw=118&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dplantain%26gbv%3D2%26hl%3Den%26safe%3Dactive"]]
 * lots of [|oil]
 * pieces of already cut boneless salmon
 * montreal stake seasoning
 * butter
 * basel confetti

- The cool thing about these huge dishes is that they are used for different things. After the bowl is washed, the natives wash their children in them and even do laundry in them! It's kind of weird really.

-Since were getting into the cultural mood, i am going to change the language we are using. Today this is not a kitchen, it is a maquis, the traditional word for restaurant. We have some words in our new vocabulary too, fish or meat is called attieke, and chicken is called kedjenou!

- A delecassy for the locals are the fried frog feet. Wow that's a mouthfull! It is served with vegetables and garlic. We are not preparing something as complex as that, but to tell you the truth even if we were making frog feet, I wouldn't be a true ivory coaster and I would probably chicken out! I mean kedjenou out!!!

- The cuisine is over there on the other side of the world, is based on their grains, tuber, chicken,fish, seafood, flavored spices and what what would be a tropical paradise without fresh fruits and veggies!!!

- The ivory coast is so big on their food that they celebrate different foods at different times of the year. And especially at this time of year they are celebrating the festival of yams, which over here is the sweet potato. I thought that was really cool, I wish that we could have big food festivals too. Don't you love yams? I do! C: Yay!!! Great job guys. BREAK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! A: The next recipie is going to be a dessert dish using the leftover plantain bananas! Never waste anything. C: The ingredients are: -your favorite ice cream(I recomend vanilla) -some blueberries or your favorite fruit - chocolate drizzle D: yum! Procedure: Take the plantain bananas and put in a bowl Take one scoop of ice cream on top Sprinkle on the blueberries Drizzle the chocolate C: Now you have a great dinner and dessert using a cultural fruit from the ivory coast! A:Go to our wikispace webpage for the wonderful recipies. D: I hope you enjoyed... A,C,D: Dining with the Divas!

+While shooting we will be prepreparing all the food, so we just hold up a sign that says: 1/2 an hour later or whatever and just take it out of the oven!+
