I have had a saba as a dessert banana but I have not cooked them, they might be better that way. I did not like them ripe.

I have cooked a hua moa, and eaten a hua moa as a dessert. Cooking them was good and eating it as a dessert banana needs some work. I didn't wait long enough to get full flavor. I did get just a hint of good flavor now and then eating it but it was still not ripe enough. I am going to try again but they are not carrying them at the moment.

So when I think of cooking I think of plantain. Now do plantains ripen enough to be eaten fresh? The reason I ask is I though I read somewhere that a hua moa isn't a true plantain. If it doesn't matter then I guess I have eaten two cooking bananas, the hua moa and that nasty plantain.

Oh and if you can tell me where to get a fe'i I would try it in a heart beat.
