Two very popular ingredients used in the Caribbean are combined here. The texture of these is not as chewy as the other fritters and they are more substantial, due to the use of cornmeal. Very easy to make, tasty and satisfying, they make a good snack anytime. They are even better when served with a fresh tomato sauce such as Love Apple (Tomato) Sauce.
