3. Boli

Boli is ripe plantain roasted over an open flame until the skin blackens and the inside turns sweet. You smell it before you see the stall. The seller peels it, drops it on paper, and adds pepper sauce or roasted groundnut. That is the whole plate, and it is enough. Tell your guest to stop the car. Eat it hot. Cold boli is just a banana that had a bad day.
