Maybe I'll get a chance to meet you all some day.

I actually ordered two huge containers of Palm Oil on the internet last year and gave them to my MIL for her birthday. She was thrilled! There's nothing like Country Chop made with Palm Oil. She makes it SO good! I have tried a few times with regular oil and tomato paste, but it lacks something without the palm oil. I use oil, onions, collard greens, red pepper, and salmon. Then we eat it with rice and bananas. It's one of those things that Eddie would NEVER in a million years try if I just made it and he hadn't grown up eating it! It looks awful.
Strangely enough, in Costa Rica, we drove by a huge palm oil plant that was West Africa Palm Oil. They imported the trees years ago to Costa Rica, and they produce more W. African Palm Oil than they do in West Africa!
