Banana
Musa x paradisiaca

Yes folks, this is where the familiar fruit comes from that we all slice up into our cornflakes.

From what I have read about this variety, it does produce edible fruit, but the fruit has many seeds. I believe that other varieties have fruit which is much more tasty.

The banana flower is as delicious as the banana. There are many ways to prepare it, but it is especially good as croquettes.

Jus plain ol' "TC" will do grangy. ;~)

I use an egg and flour batter, just a little thicker than pancake batter. And of course fried in butter. (Kentuckians fry everything)
