don't know about the bananas being raw and the "hollandaise". but in DACH there is something called Schinkenbananen, ham-wrapped bananas fried in a pan, usually with some curried rice. sweet and caramelized and some salt and smoke from the ham. my mom used to prepare it when we were kids. we loved it

I wanted to say that looks very "German food after the war"-ish.

[-] drre@feddit.org 3 points 6 months ago

that may well be: if you got time try searching for a guy called Clemens Wilmenrod, he was the first German TV cook in the fifties, showing stuff like toast Hawaii and almond filled strawberries. bizarre (would have loved to provide some links, but i couldn't find the one i was looking for, although I'm reasonably sure it actually exists)

I'm German, of course I know him πŸ˜‚

Hi German, I'm dad!

(I am so sorry, but I had to do it...)

Jokes are not a laughing matter.

It's a very serious business indeed! :D

NGL banana and ham sounds like a good flavor combo to me.

[-] owenfromcanada@lemmy.ca 11 points 6 months ago

Someone invented this while high. There is no other explanation.

[-] Routhinator@startrek.website 2 points 6 months ago

Or they are plantains, not Cavendish.

[-] owenfromcanada@lemmy.ca 1 points 6 months ago

Okay swapping those with plantains actually sounds pretty good.

Straight to jail with this one.

When I was a kid, my neighbours made a similar thing, 'the flying jacob' IIRC. The bacon was rolled around the bananas individually, and, smarties was inserted into the bananas...

Yum 🀒

Your neighbors are Swedish.

Flygande Jakob is a Swedish casserole composed of chicken, whipping cream, chili sauce, bananas, roasted peanuts, bacon and Italian salad seasoning, which is a peculiar seasoning blend available only in Sweden.

I just think it's wild that someone emptied out what was left in their fridge into a casserole, and it somehow became a popular dish.

[-] AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago

Wtf. Everyone knows you do it with m&ms, not smarties!

[-] gaiussabinus@lemmy.world 4 points 6 months ago

If these were like plantains this might be really good

[-] Routhinator@startrek.website 1 points 6 months ago

They have to be if you consider the size compared to the pan. Cavendish don't get that large in diameter.

[-] smuuthbrane@sh.itjust.works 4 points 6 months ago

Drug are bad, mmmkay?

[-] Routhinator@startrek.website 3 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

Thos appear to be Plantains, not the typical yellow cavendish you buy.

Plantains are not sweet, but starchy like a potato, which means this is likely delicious.

[-] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 2 points 6 months ago

Plantains? KRAMER!

[-] Lemminary@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago

They look like Cavendish to me. Or at least, I remember plantains having sharper angles and being thicker.

[-] Routhinator@startrek.website 2 points 6 months ago

Maybe you have a point there. Hard to tell. They would be much better as plantains.

Hate it when the instructions on a recipe for sauce are along the lines of "Mix the sauce mix with water/milk/etc..."

Tell me how to make it from scratch

Originally published in McCall’s Great American Recipe Card Collection from 1973, this oddity finally marries bananas to ham, with a slathering of lemon juice, mustard and hollandaise sauce for a piping-hot, potassium-rich nightmare straight out of the oven. Ham and Bananas Hollandaise is a dish perfectly attached to the era in which it was invented, as America was staring down its bicentennial and was feeling insecure thanks to the Vietnam War quagmire and ever-present gas shortages. This dish and others during that same time like Crown Roast of Frankfurters, Hot Tuna and Egg Buns and Spaghetti-O Jello, was the culinary equivalent to mid-life crisisβ€”super embarrassing for everyone except the poor soul locked in the deeply emotional turmoil of advancing age. Now, Ham and Bananas Hollandaise only resides in old, sticky recipe books and in the haunted memories of your grandparents as a misguided attempt to impress dinner party guests. π‡πžπ«πžβ€™π¬ 𝐒𝐧𝐠𝐫𝐞𝐝𝐒𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 π•π’π§π­πšπ πž π‘πžπœπ’π©πž π‚πšπ«ππ¬: 6 medium bananas 1/4 cup lemon juice 6 thin slices boiled ham (about 1/2 lb) 3 tablespoons prepared mustard 2 envelopes (1 1/4-oz size) hollandaise sauce mix * 1/4 cup light cream πƒπ’π«πžπœπ­π’π¨π§π¬ Preheat oven to 400F. Lightly butter 2-quart, shallow baking dish. 2. Peel bananas; sprinkle each with 1/2 tablespoon lemon juice, to prevent darkening. 3. Spread ham slices with mustard. Wrap each banana in slice of ham. Arrange in single layer in casserole. Bake 10 minutes. 4. Meanwhile, make sauce: In small saucepan, combine sauce mix with 1 cup water, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, and cream. Heat, stirring, to boiling; pour over bananas. Bake 5 minutes longer, or until slightly golden. Nice with a green salad for brunch or lunch. Makes 6 servings. *if you really want to make this make your own sauce Source: vintag es
