>Speaking of jicama, when I was in San Juan back in April,
>we ate ate at a place called Metropol, by the airport. I

>loved this veggie that looked like a potato, perhaps was
>more "starchy" and more translucent. It was EXTREMELY tasty.
>I talked to a co-worker from San Juan, and he thought it
>might be jicama. I did end up buying one, boiling it and
>eating it, but it didn't taste/look like it. It was a lot
>more hard, and crunchy, and I did boil it for at least
>an hour. Does anyone know what this veggie was, or if maybe
>it was jicama, but I bought one that wasn't ripe or something?
>Thanks,
