I'm from the UK - someone at my workplace from East Africa made a plantain based dish for Black History Month and brought it in for us to try. This may sound very strange, but it tasted VERY much like the roast potatoes we would get as part of a roast dinner when it was midweek roast day at school (traditionally roast dinners are had on Sunday, but having them on Wednesday is also common in workplaces). It was strangely nostalgic for me!
Plantains are fairly common in the U.S., but they’re often used in recipes rather than eaten on their own. It really depends on the cultural background, as different cuisines incorporate them in various ways.
I had to google plantain. "A banana containing high levels of starch and little sugar, which is harvested green and widely used as a cooked vegetable in the tropics" Ok. - I think I have seen them once in a market here in Finland - so not too often. Guess I have to try them if I ever get to buy them.
I've never tried plantain. I used to see it on the vegetable stalls in London but I usually bought breadfruit and enjoyed that boiled with some butter. Who are you calling "old people" by the way?? 🤔🤣

I used to live in a rural area with a well for water, but the pipes were so rusted that our water looked like your red oil! 😂

That red oil looks interesting.
We like them sliced and fried!
I have seen red oil for sale in my local supermarket in the UK, so i think this will be one to try out
What are your thoughts on plantain chips?
@@Owdriger2017 I like it.

Looks too much like Bannana which I hate. I would like to try the red oil with some chips.
Compared to plantains, bananas are sweeter and softer and can be peeled more easily. They're often used in desserts over in the US
I prefer sweet bananas in breakfast, but I don't often eat desserts anyway.
Looks like a banana… doesn’t taste like one though! The red oil is crazy
