venturabananas

I agree with the "odd banana" assessment for Monthan. I've met some folks who really like it as a ripe and raw "dessert" banana. I think it is OK that way, but it isn't one I look forward to eating out of hand. On the other hand, Rob, you like it cooked, but whenever I cook it, green or yellow, it's really astringent, which isn't the case for, say, Orinoco, which is very similar to Monthan in a lot of ways. Do you have any cooking tips?
