OMG YES!!! My family and I go almost annually (although my parents go a lot more often) and I remember one trip when we started noticing them everywhere...and I mean EVERYWHERE. We were kinda confused about them first, and were curious as to why it was such a big trend. It's funny to see them here now...
PMing you...

I know! When I first saw, them, I SMH and laughed! Copying the Puerto Ricans! BTW, didn't know you were Puerto Rican! I love me some tostones (fresh homemade ones, not the nasty ones you get in a restaurant!) and this beef steak and onion recipe my friend's mom made for us with beans and rice. It's a Puerto Rican specialty so I know you will know what I'm talking about

My bet is that it will be voted down again because the Puerto Ricans are smart enough to know that they don't want to start paying income taxes to the Federal Govt. This comes up every 8-10 years and it is always the same with 52-53% voting against statehood. What would we bring to the table for the people of PR that would be value added?

Yep, I'm half (from my dad's side).
Tostones are among my favorites of Puerto Rican food. I also love arroz con habichuelas or arroz con gandules, and pasteles. (Basically two different types of rice and beans, and then something that I would describe as a Puerto Rican version of a tamale.)
I was so excited when BF came to PR with us, I really wanted him to try the food. He thought it was bland.  I think he was expecting it to be really spicy or something??
ETA: Sorry for the continuing hijack!!

Ha! I want to go back to PR now! I could also use a fresh mallorca from La Bombonera in Old San Juan (they cut them open and fill them with butter and serve them warm!) or a Brazo di gitano!
