The banana tree is actually an herb. My sister in-law, the fab lady who seems to be able to recite the botanical names of all the plants she comes in contact with refused to believe this. I had to go and get my loved copy of Alan Davidson's, The Oxford Companion to Food, and show her. Bananas are a marvelous fruit. They travel well in their own carrying case, freeze well and whip up into delicious smoothies with a full, flavorful mouth feel and they make an amazing quick bread. I have made banana bread for my boys since they were young. For a treat I will throw a handful of chocolate chips on the top of the batter before I bake it. This banana bread comes form Cook--You Can Cook Fast Healthy Meals For Your Family, Whitecap Books.
This afternoon tea and a slice of banana bread!
