Bananas and custard!

DP and I fancied some for tea tonight. (Relatively new relationship so our first time of making this delicacy.)
I put the cut up banana in the saucepan along with the custard so that the banana can cook.
DP looks horrified. He's only ever poured the hot custard over the cold cut up banana in the bowl.
So who is being unreasonable?

Boiling bananas results in mush so essentially it's just banana custard not bananas AND custard. So you are being entirely unreasonable. Gavel! #also rumble

I'm Team OP! It feels more like a proper pudding when the banana is cooked.

kwetu · 08/03/2023 19:11

Sorry I am also with your Dp on this one! Cold bananas hot custard

I think bananas are only cooked as in banana fritters - i.e. banana pieces in batter deep fried.

Cold bananas 🍌

Barbecued bananas are tasty too though I'm wondering now if I'm also an anomaly on that one!

Barbequed bananas are lovely. Split the skin but leave banana in it, the push squares of chocolate between the skin and banana, the put on bbq until gooey. Delightful.
However, it is hot custard and cold bananas, you heathen!

YABU. No-one wants mushed up banana.

christmastreewithhairyfairy · 08/03/2023 19:20

Mmm I love cooked banana, I'm team OP

PlaitBilledDuckyPuss · 08/03/2023 19:22

Bananas are the most revolting thing ever, with one exception - custard.

To put the two together is an abomination of the most heinous kind, whether hot or cold

YA Both U.

I’ve only ever had cold bananas and cold custard (ambrosia)! Did he like / prefer it?!

Fladdermus · 08/03/2023 19:24

You're both wrong. Bananas in custard was upgraded to bananas in angel delight in the 1970s.

No - it’s sliced mars bars in butterscotch angel delight and chilled in the fridge.

op - bbq bananas are rank and a waste of chocolate if used.

sealon82 · 08/03/2023 19:27

Cold bananas.

FadedRed · 08/03/2023 19:30

Cold bananas, custard at a temperature of your choosing.
I’ve just had strawberry jelly and vanilla ice cream for pudding, t’was delicious.

I cannot comment on you comment until I've put it to the test. And believe you me, I WILL be putting it to the test. <checks when supermarket opens>

saltwater1985 · 08/03/2023 19:31

Cold bananas and cold custard here

Toddlerteaplease · 08/03/2023 19:31

Cold banana, hot custard.

nokidshere · 08/03/2023 19:32

Definitely cold bananas

Alphabet1spaghetti2 · 08/03/2023 19:33

Anyone else singing the tra La La song by the banana splits?!
