A Plantain

The fruit is tasty
So different in taste
looks like a banana
Yet its not the same

A banana just eat
Plantain must be cooked
Once its golden brown
It is ready to eat

Any time of day
It does not matter
A delightful treat
I often enjoy

When I was growing up, we always had a tree in our backyard. I love plaintains ripe or green - anyway they are cooked. Ripe plaintains are especially good with rice and beans and any kind of meat. The green ones I would cook like french fries and eat with scrambled eggs for breakfast - so yummy! Thanks for the memories with this sweet plaintain piece! Hugs. Pandita
