See. The author did think about submitting the recipe for a horror story.
I want to know why ripe bananas. Green bananas or their cousins plantains are starchy with only a hint of the flavor but without the sweetness. I've found them good as a potato substitute in stews.
Lately it seems People make odd salads. I've read a recipe with strawberries and cooked chicken together (there were other things too but I stopped after I found that combination)
If you've got bananas then you can buy them green. They ship them green and ripen them up by putting a ripe apple in with them which gives off ethylene.
*frowns at you* British and unavailable HA. You're 'reserved'.
Jelly squares?! as in jello squares. I share your yuck. Balsamic dressing Yum.
Ask if they've got some in the back that haven't been ripened as they probably want to stagger their stock and ripe bananas have a limited shelf life... If you want to try this. There's not much difference in taste between an unripe banana and a plantain esp if the banana is very unripe.
I work in a supermarket ;) You do see the slightly unripe ones but not often the really green. But I don;t really like Banananananananas anyway, hubby is a fan I eat one every so many years unless it's mushed in cooking something ;) Never tried Plantain.
I go through a banana craving every once in a while. It's not bad diced over oatmeal though I like crushed pineapple better. While green they're starch flavored with the barest bit of banana. Could see it in goulash as a potato sub since there's lots of cumin and chili powder to it to disguise that hint.

Plantain you'd get in London and places but unlikely around here.
