Re: Plantains
SB
To enjoy a ripe plantain at its best let the skin turn completely black. This gives the plantain time to develop the most sugar/least starch.
And please don't try to eat it raw. Desert naners and some cooking naners are tasty very ripe but that's before the skin turns black. True plantains fully ripe will gag a maggot eaten uncooked.
When I was a kid, used to have fun with new visitors from the Irish side of the family. Put out yellow plantains with the Chiquitas in the same bowl and watched their reaction when they took a bite with their corn flakes.
