I really like tostones but I grew up eating maduros. Us folk from the other smaller islands don't really eat green plantain. My family find it weird, although nobody's ever turned downed tostones when I've made them! When I brought my cousins over to the the DR last year, they were simply baffled by it, they couldn't understand how anyone could eat unripe plantain. I was converted from the first bite but with my sweet tooth, maduro wins hands down!
