Matooke is a variety of starchy banana, commonly referred to as cooking
bananas. The fruit is harvested green and then cooked and often mashed or
pounded into a meal. In Uganda it is steam-cooked and the mashed meal is
one of the national dishes of the country.
“Matooke is similar to mashed
potatoes but instead it is boiled and mashed plantains wrapped in banana leaf.
It is everywhere and served with every meal: with eggs for breakfast, lunch,
and dinner. Even though it is pretty bland-tasting on its own usually it is
mixed with the “sauce” which is surprisingly pretty good and I've grown to
really love it.”

Cards in Uganda - only envy. And I really like bananas at all.
I transport them in my belly :-)
