Lullabelle you beat to Spam® - love this stuff! There's even a festival, Spam® Jam in Honolulu Hawaii... we just missed it, but we did go one year we were back home, it was a hoot!

Thankyou, I don't feel quite so odd about it now

 

[SatNavSaysStraightOn]

I'm cringing here! You guys are just trying to traumatise me now with talk of cooked bananas, so mean!
I'm willing to give anything a try, but a lifetimes experience would make me expect to dislike anything cooked containing banana

They're badly traumatising me. Pineapple and bananas. Yuck. The only 2 things (in the vegetable/fruit world I live in) that I can't eat. I can't every stand the smell of bananas, let alone eat anything with them in, cooked or otherwise.

Bananas these days don't taste very nice, used to love them when I was a kid but now they are bland or taste horrible.

I love bananas, and pineapple. Bananas from the trees in the garden are unbelievably soft and honey-sweet, not like the ghastly green-ish things in the supermarkets.

I won't eat bananas here on the mainland, but when back in Hawaii, I love Apple Bananas, those have taste and they're not mushy and disgusting.
Where I grew up in Kaneohe, there's a HUGE Banana patch, the one outer edge was our backyard.

I like pineapple, and my only 'stop, nope' on banana is the cooking. A friend is worse than me, she only eats it whole (no mash/puree) and raw and no banana flavouring.

Apparently, mashed up banana in milk is in some places considered a treat for kids. I never knew that.

I will occasionally make a banana milk shake, using fresh banana, but mashing it in milk is just plain weird

I bet if you were in a desert, a refreshing banana smoothie would be quite nice. Just poking at you because you have poked me more than once for my poor sentence construction, LOL. No worries, I didn't take offense!

Yummy, just don't cook it first
Oh I would never want to be guilty of causing offence, that last one tho gave me a funny mental image of visitors turning up at my door dressed in playboy stuff, so that needed a reply (sorry )

Used to have that as a kid - or sliced in milk with brown sugar.

It was funny!

On other controversies:
And I figure/hope Windigo will pipe in:
There are a number of Dutch dishes that have been changed by people coming in from the former Dutch Indies
Like hachee, there is a Dutch & Indo version.
I put kecap & sambal in my erwtensoep (Dutch pea soup), sambal in the hutspot (carrot-potato mash) and so on

I will but later this weekend, too tired now
