i mistook a bunch of plantains for bananas, and we've never tried them before-doh!!

brett says you have to cook them before eating them, but i wouldn't know how.  i welcome any advice and recipe ideas!!!

i want to know if plantain (when prepared and cooked properly) can be given to a 8 month old.

now im going to hang my head in shame for not knowing this already.

well, plantain looks exactly like a banana but it's much larger.  that's all i can tell you.  think you can get it in british supermarkets at certain times of the year.

thanx for the link mumsam.  i like the idea of fried plantain as a snack esp cos im on a diet.  might have to pay out a bit extra for low cal oil spray though. i wonder if the boys will like it.
