What would you add to this plate?

Now I wish I had taken a picture of my dinner plate last night.....Curried Goat with white rice plus boiled banana, yam and dumplings and the dessert was sweet potato pudding. This was dinner at my parents home last night.

I'd subtract the rice and peas and substitute a healthy dollop of Renta yam - as creamy as mashed potatoes! Or subtract the rice and peas and substitute some good "season" rice or pumpkin rice. I like rice and peas, but only if done the "old fashioned" way where grated coconut milk is used (not coconut milk powder) and most places in Negril skip this very important ingredient. It's a bit labor intensive maybe, but there's no comparison in taste and bland rice & peas gets really repetitive and boring as heck when served with every meal of the day, every day of the week.

Wow...a Renta yam as thickener for a blended fruit drink? To me, that is oddly creative and something I will try. Though since I'm not on the island at the moment, the next best thing I can think of to substitute for it here in the US would be a boiled potato. I'm thinking that the drink will thick creamy and come out sort of "milkshake-ish". If so, substituting boiled potato (or the Renta when on the island) would be something people with dairy allergies could play around with - make their shakes without yogurt or ice cream yet still get somewhat the same thing. Will definitely have to experiment with this one!!
