As I get older, I grow more and more concerned about what I put into my body. So lately, I'm trying very hard to get the recomended daily allowance of fruit and veggies. For fruit, I typically bring a couple of bananas to work with me. I eat one around brunch time and one mid afternoon and then usually an apple at night. I've noticed that everytime I eat a banana, it leave a buttery afertaste in my mouth. I've never experienced this before in my life. But lately, no matter whereI buy bananas, no matter what other foods I have throughout the day; my bananas all taste like they are coated in butter. Has anyone else ever experienced this?

-Mike | Could be. Would have to be new though. It's never happened. Only in the past few weeks. I must say I'm rather pleased since I do love buter but try to avoid it due to it's fattening ability.

| | uncle petey? | | Join Date: Jun 2007 Location: outer banks, nc | | | Is it the taste of butter or a buttery texture...I can see where the texture thing would come into play.
On a side note, my favorite dessert is sauteed bananas in brown butter with rum and brown sugar...poured into about 5 ounces of stout with ice cream...

It isn't there while I'm eating the banana. But as soon as I swallow the last bite, I have the taste of butter in my mouth for about ten minutes or so. Then it goes away.

I'm convinced a girl I dated in college gave me one more night of sex before breaking it off solely for those pancakes. |

Add the butter and brown sugar first and let all the sugar dissolve - then add the bananas. Add the rum when the bananas look done. It should flame up a bit and when it stops the bananas are done.
I don't remember exact quantities, but with four bananas it should be around 2/3 or 3/4 cup of brown sugar into a few tablespoons of butter and I always used half a cup of rum.
Edit: Just realized you were asking louieeadg. That's my method anyway, but I'm curious how he does it as well. | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
