Plantains

I was getting Memorial Day weekend food and, in addition to corn on the cob, hamburger, etc, I picked up a plantain. "Let me get something a little exotic," thought I, and so I did. Very, very little exotic. Okay, officially it's not a banana--no really, we mean it, it isn't. And maybe if I'd sliced up a banana as well as the plantain, and fried them both together, and was able to compare one with the other, perhaps I could distinguish some difference. As it is, I'm wondering if this foray into "exotic foods" merits the label "micro adventure", or if "nano adventure" would be more accurate.
For our next exciting adventure, we'll examine the difference between beige and ecru!
