Het was zo jammer dat de bananenboom bij het huis aan de andere kant van de muur hoorde, en op een dag - hij was gekapt en alle bananen waren weggehaald!!!!! Helemaal niet eerlijk.

Jenny McIntyre replied to Keith Burton:

I was surprised at it being in Cornwall - your picture I mean. I suppose it was near Heligan, St Austell. I noticed in your picture, your banana tree had a lovely yellow flower at the bottom, it must have looked gorgeous when it bloomed.

It looks like an Avatar-worthy design. I don't know anyone who doesn't like bananas and I eat every day. Have a great W.E, Jenny.

Jenny McIntyre replied to Anton Cruz Carro:

Yes I suppose it does when I think of it. I absolutely love bananas and to have them and coconut is just heaven!!!! That's why I was heartbroken when I didn't get any before they chopped it down. I hope you have a great weekend too Anton.

Despite being a fruit, the banana flower is often cooked like a vegetable...

Je n'ai jamais connu ce Pat. L'un des mystères du système alimentaire - je veux dire que les tomates sont considérées comme des fruits ? Pourquoi diable cuisineraient-ils cette jolie grande fleur ? Je suppose que ces aliments étranges proviennent de très vieilles recettes lorsque d'autres aliments n'étaient pas disponibles.

I have yet to go there myself, while it's not too far away.
