"They taste kind of flowery..."

This was Darla's response when Nathan asked her how the plantain chips tasted. Every week, our cook makes chips for us from plantains (similar to potato chips). He fries them in oil in a pot over the fire. This week, when he brought the chips inside I noticed that the empty bottle of oil was not our normal "used oil" container. I called out the window to Nathan, "hey, what does massage oil consist of?" His answer was that it's made up of mostly olive oil, grape seed oil (?) and a bunch of essential oils. Hence, the flowery tasting chips that got thrown out in the trash. Though the massage oil wasn't where we normally keep our bottles of oil, I guess keeping it anywhere in the kitchen in an unmarked bottle is a bad idea!
