I’m not sure that the American Heart Association will approve of this receipe but my family sure does! Really browning the bananas brings out the flavor

Thanks Rick

A recipe from the Rainbow nation of South Africa and a must try!! Serves 1 (Do the same thing again if you want to make one for someone else….!) Preparation Time 10 mins Cooking Time 5 mins Ingredients 6 rashers Streaky bacon or macon - with fat or without 1 Banana, Sliced 15 ml Butter 30-45 ml Peanut Butter (Optional) 2 slices Whole Wheat Seeded Bread Drizzle of Golden Syrup or honey or simply a pinch or two of coarse salt… Method Grill the Bacon rashers or macon stuff until crisp. (Not sure if macon does the taste bud flipping trick…you decide…) In a non-stick frying pan, fry the banana slices until well browned. Spread a generous tablespoon of peanut butter onto each slice of bread. (Optional) Add the fried bananas & drizzle with golden syrup or honey or as mentioned just plain or coarse salt.. Top off with the crispy streaky bacon rashers. Not your average banana republic sandwich!! Gotta love it!

Please post the receipe for the bacon and banana toastie. I know it’s probably just bananas and bacon on toast but quite often, even with simple things, the devil is in the details. I want the FULL culinary experience!!

The French eat their famous "Boudin noir" (Black pudding) with apples or their not less famous "canard" (duck) with orange. the Spanish regularly eat their cheese with quince marmelade and not to mention the delicious Pastilla coming from Morocco only for conoisseurs or even the sparkling merger of lemon with salt in the Tequila Margarita from Mexico. The Chileans around the beautiful island of Chiloé also mix fish and meet in their so called dish "Curanto". I would not dare mentioning the Irish who can put pineapples on their pizza (i once heard that a guy from Naples in Italy-not in Florida, excuse me!!- and who lived in Ireland for a while has still nightmares about that terrible experience lived in that country). The bittersweet or even unexpected combinations can give actually very interesting results and I do regret now not to have tested the Bacon and Banana toast in S.A. May be next time for a new trip or during the world cup before or after a game of the lousy French team !

Ah, but what about Captain Jack’s lobsters? Surely, you’ve not missed that? And while we’re at it, it is very noteworthy that New Zealand has qualified for the World Cup Finals in South Africa next year – only the second tiem in the country’s history, and 28 years after the last qualification. Perhaps not the most aptly named team given the venue….we are the All Whites!

Banana and Peanut Butter is good too.
