I've never tried Plantain, because I am allergic to bananas. Just way too close in appearance to make me try.
We have a little bitty plant here in the desert that is called Plantain. I don't know that it is related, but it is less than 2 inches (5 cm) tall in it's full flowering glory :)
BigTom you're allergic? Pardon my ignorance, what kind of reaction do you have to bananas if you ingested some (if you don't mind me asking out of interest), I've never come across anyone with this allergy, I didn't actually even consider it existed.
Sick to my stomach and wild temperature fluctuations. My father made me try it a couple of times and I also had the same reaction from stealth bananas in fruit salad.
For the record: I can eat banana bread like a machine and banana popsicles are my favorite.
Hey Tom.
Thanks for the reply. Hmmm definitely not pleasant, I totally understand why you avoid them.
Interesting that it's only raw banana that sets you off but cooked is ok. At least there's an upside - banana bread for the win!
Have a good day
Wow I never thought there are those that are allergic to bananas too, it's cool though
I'm the only one I know that is. It's pretty weird.
😂 Not weird at all, I think @galenkp said something about it too like that 😬 or not?
