A traditional dish made of mashed boiled green plantains. Local lore says the name comes from the 1916 US military occupation, when Marines tasting the dish would say Man is good! or Man's good!, which Dominican peasants adapted into Mangu. (Mangu is the staple Dominican breakfast dish).
Save the Mangu I asked you for tonight and put some olive oil on it, otherwise I do not want it.

Mother: Son, how are you? Come over to the house tonight, I have some Mangu with egg for you. But listen! Come without that little wife of yours! Son: Okay mom, see you there, no problem. Mother: I will be waiting.
