Eddoe Leaf Bhajee is a large leaf taken from the eddoe (a root vegetable) plant. The leaf is usually cut into really small pieces and cooked with coconut milk until it reaches a pulp and is very tasty. Fine leaf bhajee is usually referred to by Guyanese as "Chowrai" bhajee.

The first 4 photos are amaranth aka chowri bhaji in TT. The Jamaican callalloo is a larger leaved amaranth; its taste is milder. The last photo is, likely, the leaves of the dasheen/taro aka 'callalloo bush' in TT because it is used to make the soup-like dish known as callalloo. The leaves of eddoes and dasheen are almost identical except the latter have a reddish/purple dot at the centre.
