Describe the two major ways discussed in class of preparing plantains.
1) tostones (are cut cylindrically, flattened, then deep fried before being salted and eaten somewhat like fries; they come from unriped/green plantains); 2) platanos maduros (are cut diagonally usually, deep fried and are very sweet; they originate from the darker/blackened looking peels of the plantain)
