It's not really like potato
No matter who disagrees, you'll be right. So, OK, it's not like a banana at all.

Kinda shows that a little bit of racism can be funny, and perfectly fine tbh.
Only eaten it once, and can't remember it - something I'd like to try.
Love bananas anarl.

Sainsburys have them in sometimes and they aren't all that expensive. They're ok but I wouldn't chase round to get them.I'm sure there are places, but in London you can buy them in almost every shop, supermarket and market stall. Up here they're like gold dust.

The taste varies depending how you cook them. Fried, they do caramelise so taste a bit like a banana but mashed or baked I think they taste closer to potato.
I'm really trying to think of another comparison. It is like a banana
I don't like bananas but I do like plantain usually.
Cooking banana - WikipediaIt is like, soz. It's a cross between banana and potato.
You sure you haven't just been eating bananas painted green?
Ever tried one?
See..
'They’re sold by the bananas, but they probably belong closer to the potatoes.
Because while plantains may resemble bananas, they taste and cook more like a tuber. And in much of the world, that’s how these starchy fruit — sometimes called a “cooking banana” — are used. In Africa and India, they often are used as the base of stews and curries, much as potatoes would be.
Rinconcito Paisa, Colombian bakery and restaurant in Mariners Harbor, features some exciting specimens of plantains on their menu. Green ones get pounded into a pancake, then fried in vegetable oil until crispy. That preparation makes the vegetable taste a little like a potato chip would if it were thick-cut, although the flattened plantain remains spongiform in the middle.'
He doesn't like that either.Attention seeking? I thought he was coming out
Yes, I cook with them all this timeEver tried one?

Forget it.
Needlessly shoehorning her into an irrelevant thread? Pathetic.
Aye they're the same, look:

The local grocers also sells these, which I might have to experiment with:

I'll probably be able to slice one up really efficiently with my Global chef's knife.
