Guanimo
A roll of dough made from mashed plantains and other ingredients, usually sweet, wrapped in a plantain leaf and boiled. It is a traditional snack sold by female street vendors known as marchantas, particularly in the northern Cibao region. (Note: This is the Dominican equivalent of a tamale, though it often uses a plantain-based dough and is frequently sweet.)
Vendor: I have okra, lettuce, mango, tilapia, GUANIMOS, sweet corn, sapodilla, etc. Margot, stop for the vendor, I am going to wolf down a guanimo with a mabi bark drink!
