Hmmm, I couldn't find one in the Wiki or elsewhere specifically called a "French Plantain," but the Dw. French plantain isn't large enough to be them. Do you know if the dwarf variety are similar in cooking? I'm trying to find one that is exact, similar, or BETTER!!!!! than the ones they sell here in the grocery stores in FL as I do a LOT of Puerto Rican cooking, and platanos are apart of 80% of meals (only beaten by rice, which is in ALL MEALS!)!!! I just moved to a more rural "redneck" city (Brevard County) from Orlando. Here they don't sell GOOD QUALITY platanos as they do in Orlando where the spanish population is MUCH higher.
