I'm going to throw this out there

Ripe plantains (totally black) make regular ripe bananas taste like dirt. Plantains taste like Dreamsicle. I highly recommend going out and buying a plantain right now. If it's green, you may have to wait two weeks for it to ripen (seriously), but it will be well worth your time.

I just bought red bananas for the first time. Once they ripen and I eat them I will be back to file a full report.
