When this project is complete, will post pic(below from my recipe); it's a dish I grew up on as a foreign exchange student in the Dominican Republic.
The food down there is much healthier than ours, all organic; grown in volcanic soil. Place is like the garden of eden, fruit grows
twice the size; they actually have live chickens behind some restaurants...butchered and served same day.
This is habichelas guisadas=a red bean stew with squash served over sticky rice:

We have family in Puerto Rico. And I've always been told about how large the fruit gets. Oranges the size of grapefruits. Avocados the size of squash.

Substituting plantains for bread was a great idea. On man, now I want tostones for dinner...but no bananas on hand.

We always had live chickens when I was a kid. It didn’t seem to make sense to butcher ahead of time . Now my wife says “ we can’t eat the pets “ and she also said “ I just can’t eat something that I’ve looked in their eyes “ …. ohh well she’ll never know how good it was.Haven't been to PR since Ronny Reagan was in office, but I remember the jibaritos!.

I'll never forget seeing my grandmother with a hatchet in one hand and "my" chicken in the other.
I was crushed right up until dinner time. Lol
My grandmother (and mother) would simply snap their necks, like casually while walking in the yard. I did not see that coming! It was pretty shocking the first time.

My two brothers were older than me so by the time I was running around in the yard, the ringing of necks was just a thing we did. You had to be fast enough or smooth enough to catch the bird. How does one choose a bird…. well you have two kinds of chicken, the dumb ones and the assholes . You can feed the dumb ones and eat them anytime but the assholes well you invite them to dinner right away… you don’t feed assholes, they feed you.

I winged a pheasant and wrung it's neck and stuffed it into my game vest, unfortunately I didn't do it well enough and it woke up and all hell broke loose behind my back.
Had to take the vest off and finish him off. THAT never happened again...
