I am desperately searching for a place that sells Mavi (Mabi) bark. I brought some home from my last trip home but have not been able to locate a place to buy it in the ststes. Is there a website that I can order it from. My husband is a very big fan of Mavi and I would love to make him some more.

Thanks,
Debra

quoting Miguel:
Hi Miguel

I was not familiar with Pana, but from what i have been able to find out, it is most probably ‘breadfruit’. For recipes, just google it, but I think that it is usually boiled. Hope that helps

Hello,
I would like to know where I can purchase the Mavi bark. I saw a television show called Bizzare Foods with host Anrew Zimmern. The drink looks delicious and I want to make it. If it is at all possible could you email me and let me know if there is anyway to buy it.
Thanks,
Derek Trapp

Thanks for the feedback.

I’ll work on an update for the root vegetables.

With regards to the table I did it the hard way – manually within the post, though there are a couple of table plugins for WP out there.
