    The plantain chips (pronounced “PLAN-TAYNE”) are related to bananas but more starchy and savory

    I never really liked the flavor of bananas. But your chips are plantains. One time my parents had bought a plantain and put it on the kitchen counter. I came home late from work, and grabbed what I thought was a banana to eat. I was too lazy to cook anything so settled for the "nasty banana". When I ate it, it was the most delicious banana I've ever hard. Not too sweet. Savory. Delicious. I found out the next morning it was a plantain ha ha.
