When I first had this, it reminded me of the Gerber's mashed banana baby food, only bright yellow. I must say though, from the fourth or fifth bite (you have to give your taste buds and brain a chance to comprehend exactly what you're eating) I absolutely loved this dish.
The taste, if it can be described, is a little tangy and sweet all at the same time. It has a similar texture to the mashed banana baby food, but once your mind works itself around the texture, the taste is actually something unexpected. The only way to describe it is a grown-up, gourmet version of Gerber's mashed bananas.
Although it sounds weird, I hope you give it a try, if you like bananas, I think you probably will enjoy this. The recipe is meant for two or three people. Just like the previous recipe, there are no exact measurements, but this dish is hard to get wrong.
