Recipe Finds : Bizarre Food Puerto Rica

Bizarre Food Puerto Rica had a munfungo recipe along he way which he host liked. I was on the island in 1998 during a jaunt out from the cruise ship that I was helping with during an eclipse cruise that year. Traveling around the island was real nice but the Chicken Mufungo that we had before heading back to the ship was truly memorable. I still have not found a good one like this but here are some basic other recipes that I found.
