If you can find boniatos or calabaza locally, then it's a no-brainer; simple
preparations of either will fit right in to a Thanksgiving meal.

If you're leaning more toward dessert, I've got the following recipes which
might work; let me know if you're interested and I'll post any or all of
them:

Guava Cheesecake
Mango Napoleon with Chocolate Fudge Sauce
Coconut Cream Pie (the pie shell also contains coconut)
"Exotic" Banana Cream Pie
"Island Spice" Ice Cream (flavored with cinnamon, star anise, cloves, and
orange zest)
Hibiscus Granita

(Those are all from _Miami Spice_)
