4-The history of my food

 I dont really know the Mangu history and I cant find it either but there is a story that says that during the American invasion of the Dominican Republic (1916), American soldiers would walk into rural towns and the residents would serve them whatever they had for food. On this particular day the soldiers were served with Mangu, one soldier slowly eta the mash plantain savored and said “ Man this is good!” after that all soldiers tried and agreed that in fact, that stuff was good. Since then when serving the dish the town people would present it as mangu because they didn't know what they really mean by "man this is good" and they thought that was the name of the mashed plantain and like people say thats how the name come from. I also were told that the mangu come from african slaves from when there were africans in the country they do something similar to the mangu and they also have a  different name they call it "fufu" also in cuba is known as "fufu de platano" and it have some many names like tacacho or cayeye. I dont think you can find mangu in a typical restaurant it would be at a dominican restaurant or a Hispanic restaurant I had never seen mangu in other places or a american or Chinese restaurant.
