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
