Go to Puerto Rico, eat plantains, and eat mayo-ketchup. It’s pretty hard to stay away from mayo-ketchup sauce in Puerto Rico because it’s pretty much served with everything. Well, I’m going to make an admission that will make me sound like a complete snob……I won’t eat ketchup anymore that has high fructose corn syrup. Also, I won’t eat mayonnaise that is from a big jug. Why eat them anyway when you can make better quality stuff yourself? This is Eric we’re talking about!
The cool thing about this sauce is it is completely snobby by name and not the mayo-ketchup sauce that is all over Puerto Rico. Want to be a snob too? Then try my:

You have the right to be a mayo-ketchup snob, I like your recipe and I am going to make it and call it Eric’s mayo-ketchup snobby sauce.
Eric, No one has to go to Puerto Rico to get Edwin’s tostonera. You can order one on-line or if your in East Harlem, go to any bodega, I’m sure they can direct you on how to get one. Also — there is another tostonera that make perfectly rounded tostones rellenos. Just Google: Tostonera, you can find a whole array of tostoneras easily orderable.
You mean I can just google something and then buy it online? AMAZING!!!!!
