About Chicken Wing Tree

Hello friends and family! This blog is about our family vacation to Costa Rica! We have family members that reside here as well, so it's both a vacation and a reunion.

The term, "Chicken Wing Tree" came from a previous trip to Costa Rica. When we were eating lunch one time, I looked at a peculiar piece of food. It was browned and had a fried texture to it, and was in the shape of a chicken wing. I instantly deduced it to be a fried chicken wing dipped in some sort of sauce. Later that day, when we were having dinner, I watched as my family members tore through these "chicken wings." Then I realized... they weren't chicken wings... I inquired as to what these mythical creatures were. They were, fried bananas. Platanos fritos, to be exact. Therefore, I was ridiculed for the rest of the trip for mistaking bananas for chicken wings. When our cousin, Roger, was driving us one day, we passed by a field of banana trees, and he promptly exclaimed to me, "Look David! Chicken wing trees!"
