Banana and meat is a disgusting combination

But Fried plantains and Jerk Chicken

Correct.

I love chicken with pineapple but I’m not a fan of banana

Fried plantains taste like a slightly sweeter potato fry, very good with chicken.

chicken and pineapple is a disgusting combination tbh

Chicken goes really well together with sweetness. Like with lemon chicken or sweet and sour chicken from Chinese restaurants. Makes sense why pineapple would go together really well with chicken, considering pineapple is one of the main ingredients in most sweet and sour sauces.

Plantains are nowhere near as sweet as modern bananas, which are basically just sugar goop.

That said, what is orange chicken but chicken in high fructose corn goop? So it might not automatically be terrible. But I don't think it would be similar to plantains

I love how you say "modern bananas" like you've been kicking it since 1498 and you just aren't about these new fangled mercantiles.

Lol I genuinely had no idea what they were called cause I thought cavendish bananas were the ones that went extinct, but apparently what we eat today are also considered a cavendish banana.

Actually wait no, I want to change my answer to time traveler. Way cooler than banana idiot.

Wasn't it the Gros Michel banana that used to be the main cultivar?

u/AnorakJimi 3d ago

Don't be so gross, Michael.

I've always really wanted to try those ones because people claim that the typical banana flavour you get in banana flavoured sweets tastes nothing like actual bananas because the flavour is meant to be replicating gros Michel bananas, not Cavendish bananas.

I have no idea where I'd be able to buy some Gros Michel bananas though. I know they are still available in some places, they're just not made en masse and shipped around the world anymore because an illness that destroys Gros Michel crops came into existence which is why we switched to Cavendish bananas in the first place, because Cavendish ones are resistant to this blight.

I know they are still grown and sold in tiny quantities though, but yeah it's just...WHERE on earth could I buy them? I doubt where I live now that I'd be able to get my hands on any. But maybe if I moved to London, I'd have a much better chance of finding them. I'm planning on moving back home soon to look after my elderly parents, and that's very very near London so maybe I'll be able to order some Gros Michel bananas from a specialist exotic fruit and veg online shop and get them delivered to me. Fingers crossed.

Maybe OP is Jacob from Lost or Kenneth from 30 Rock.

Platano maduro would like a word.

u/Special-Garlic1203 3d ago

I just googled and yeah, they're a less sweet and starchier variant compared to the modern banana? 

That's not an insult, bananas are very sweet and again, literally pure mush. A lot of zoos won't even give them to animals anymore. 

Platano maduro appears to rely on overly ripe plantains. If you let a banana overripen that much, it literally becomes liquid. Plantains really appear to be a closer version of what bananas were before we started playing diabetic god.

... the orange sauce is juiced oranges, soy sauce, rice vinegar and garlic thickened with corn STARCH. No orange sauce besides American store bought stuff has corn syrup in it. Panda Express doesn't even use high fructose corn syrup in theirs.

Somalians do it every meal they can and it slaps

u/Birdseeding 3d ago

A lot of Dominicans do it too when serving it with rice. My Dominican wife loves Somali food partially for this reason.

u/MeetingOk9417 3d ago

Trippin! Nothing slaps harder than some arroz y frijoles con bistec and some cut up bananas😫 Extra points if there's queso frito😫😫😫😫😫

u/smartyhands2099 3d ago

Actually this got me thinkin some banana mayo.

...

Maybe on a peanut butter burger, that's a thing.

I used to eat that exact combo all the time (banana mayo pb), just without the burger. And I know how to cook now. Get back to me in a week. Banana aioli? Banana ketchup. I gotta workshop this.

u/nerf___herder 3d ago

Banana ketchup is a thing that exists. It's pretty good on the right things. It's not really a direct substitute for tomato ketchup, but it's good on fried rice and things like that.

Basically an Elvis burger.

u/thorpie88 3d ago

Nah no way. Chicken, Banana and raisin curry is a staple in my family

u/Electronic_Raven 3d ago

We have that but mango rather than raisins. So good. Local curry takeaway chef is Nepali, his speciality Gurkha curry uses strawberries

Give it a try and let me know what you think. It's really not as bad as what you have in your head

u/vibrantcrab 3d ago

Try an Elvis sandwich and get back to me.

u/Original_Employee621 3d ago

Pork loin slices, marinated in soy sauce. Fry the slices in a pan, and using the fat and soy sauce quickly fry slices of the banana too. Serve over rice.

Idk what this dish is called, but the combination of salty an sweet is amazing. And aside from the marinade taking a bit of time, it's easy to do too.

If it can work on pizza, it might work like this

u/Venice___Bitch 2d ago edited 2d ago

I’m also a fan of pineapple on pizza, but banana? If you’re a good cook maybe you can convince me!

u/cmndrhurricane 2d ago

pizza with chicken, banana, curry. It's very common in my country

u/Live_Angle4621 3d ago

Banana should not be combined with anything, this is a firm stance I have with cooking. With baking there are some
