Dickens wrote a novel about the medicinal qualities of the plantain leaf for treatment of bronchitis.
Great Expectorations
Bananas are sweeter. Plantains are starchy. Also larger. They also have a thicker peel and are generally green. Plantains will hold their shape when fried up and served with sweetened condensed milk. Bananas will turn into soup in a frying pan.
I know the difference between snot and okra, too. That’s a much finer line.
There’s no difference. It’s all a lie. Curse the lying banana industry people!
What an interesting coincidence, there used to be a plaintain & banana farm in the La Conchita area where that huge mudslide occurred.
Ah, yes, but do you know the difference between the subjunctive and the conditional?
A likely story.
No. Just snot and okra, plantains and bananas. That’s all I’ve needed so far and I’m not going to muddy the waters with grammar.
Have any of you ever tried to EAT a raw plantain? Like trying to munch on solid cardboard cylinder. Ghastly.
Potato, Patato, Banana, Plantain
Let’s call the who thing off.
I want to know the difference between Gallo Pink Zinfandel and dishwashing detergent, with a hint of cherry and a soupcon of socks and soapfilm. And I want to know before I drink another glassful of this stuff.
Pink Zinfandel??
I think it’s the dish detergent that makes it pink.
