		<description><![CDATA[The New York Times has been very kind to me, but one has to say that a banana split where: There&#8217;s no strawberry, pineapple, or chocolate sauce. There&#8217;s something called &#8220;ganache.&#8221; There are no nuts. The dish is not &#8220;boat&#8221; shaped. AND ICE CREAM IS FREAKIN&#8217; OPTIONAL!!!! has to be a bunch of hooey and snobbery. Get it together. Really. Here&#8217;s NYT&#8217;s &#8220;banana split,&#8221; which is suitable only for fellows like the gentleman pictured below. . Snob. Here&#8217;s the real deal at BananasWeb, and the kind of fella who&#8217;d enjoy such a treat. Baby Gorilla. Not snob.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Got this at a Philippine grocery a few blocks from my house in Los Angeles. Price: $1.59. The lady behind the counter called it &#34;banana ketchup,&#34; and that&#39;s pretty much what it is, with the same basic ingredients &#8211; sugar, vinegar, salt, and spices &#8211; as the tomato stuff, but with bananas substituted for the red fruit base. There are a bunch of varieties from Jufran. The product is listed at Ketchupworld.com, with both regular and hot versions; neither of these seem to be the one I found &#8211; the ingredients listed for both are different. The ketchup site gets $3.50 for a mail-ordered bottle. Searching around, it seems that the product has multiple incarnations, with different labeling &#8211; some designated as &#34;sauce,&#34; others as &#34;ketchup,&#34; and some using bright red food coloring to make them look more like the real thing. Mine is marked as &#34;The Original,&#34; so I&#39;ll go with that. How did ours taste? Fantastic: a little spicy, a little sweet &#8211; with the same consistency as tomato ketchup. I had mine on a big hunk of Turkey breast. Whupped the daylights out of cranberry sauce. All hail the new King of Condiments. Here&#39;s a link to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Homemade banana ice cream sammiches, Image from chubbyhubby.net We don&#8217;t have to sit by while the &#8220;Morning Banana Diet&#8221; marches across the planet, raising prices for the fruit and making emaciated zombies of us all. Here&#8217;s a brand new recipe &#8211; from the Chubby Hubby Blog &#8211; for homemade banana ice cream, served between brownie cookies &#8211; that I hope will be the beginning of a massive counter-strike against the craze that begin a few months ago in Japan. Banana tip: freeze them when they go brown. They keep for months, and you can use them to make all kinds of delicious stuff. Next in the arsenal: this banana pudding recipe &#8211; made with vanilla wafers &#8211; from the chitterlings.com soul food site (the recipe is almost at the bottom of the page.) We&#8217;re going to make some this week. Report, with pictures, to come. Thanks to my Dad for suggesting the recipe.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Matooke flour, courtesy Ugandan Presidential Initiative on Banana Industrial Development Programme Steaming banana leaves for matooke. Full video sequence here. There&#8217;s a knock-down, drag-out contest going on right now in Kampala &#8211; held as a precursor to next month&#8217;s World Banana Congress in Kenya &#8211; to see which chef makes the best Matooke, a Ugandan banana dish which I describe in my book as &#8220;the macaroni and cheese of the African highlands.&#8221; The contest began with over 100 chefs offering their recipes made with tooke, a flour made from East African Highland Plantains. Nine are now left standing, and they&#8217;ll face off on October 5, serving their creations at a Presidential banquet to be held at the Kampala Serena Hotel. Here&#8217;s a description of the dish, which I refer to in my book, and which is more commonly referred to, as matooke. Interesting side note &#8211; I&#8217;ve mentioned it several times here, but Uganda is so dependent on bananas &#8211; many people get up to 90% of their daily calories from the fruit, eating up to 900 pounds of it a year, compared to about 25 pounds of it here in the United States &#8211; that in some small villages, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[THE BANANA WAS ONE OF THE FIRST CONVENIENCE FOODS. It fit nicely into the brown bags and lunch pails of an America where city life was rapidly taking over from the rural existence most people had known in the country’s earlier days. The fruit was agreeable to just about everyone, from infants to old folks. It was also becoming the object of culinary innovation (or at least the creation of memorable treats.) In 1904, David Strickler, an apprentice pharmacist and soda fountain operator at a drugstore in Latrobe, Pennsylvania began serving a concoction made of three scoops of ice cream nestled between halves of a banana. His recipe for the dessert was one banana, cut lengthwise; scoops of vanilla, chocolate, and strawberry ice cream; a drenching of chocolate, pineapple, and then strawberry sauce; and a final sprinkling of nuts and a trio of whipped cream dollops topped with cherries. He charged ten cents for the creation and even had special boat-shaped dishes manufactured for serving the extra-large sundae.       Three years later, a version of the delicacy appeared at a restaurant owned by E. R. Hazard, 275 miles away, in Wilmington, Ohio. Hazard called his creation a “banana split.” Both [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[see original image at flickr. Every October, culinary masters compete at the Texas State Fair for the &#8220;Big Tex&#8221; prize &#8211; an award for the most fabulous, new recipe for a fried dessert. Though this year&#8217;s winner &#8211; fried cookie dough &#8211; sounds lovely, I was bummed to hear that a recipe for Fried Banana Pudding failed to place, especially considering the heart-wrenching tale behind it, according to the Dallas Morning News: &#8220;Although food vendor Debbie Hays and her family were among the vendors who weren&#8217;t awarded a Big Tex trophy, they said they are still walking tall. B.W.&#8217;s Original Fried Banana Pudding was the invention of Ms. Hays&#8217; brother, longtime concessionaire B.W. Morrow, who died of a heart attack earlier this year. His recipe was picked to be in the contest posthumously. His wife and daughter came to the contest to see how everyone would respond to Mr. Morrow&#8217;s last fair food contribution, banana pudding wrapped in a tortilla and fried. The judges said it was deliciously comforting. &#8220;He had worked on creating this for this year&#8217;s fair,&#8221; said Mr. Morrow&#8217;s wife, Judy. &#8220;This is a real honor for us to be in the contest. He&#8217;d be proud.&#8221; Rest [...]]]></description>
