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?

Cold bananas!! Cooked ones go brown and soft 🤢

Wilkolampshade · 08/03/2023 19:50

DH correct. Sorry.
Cooked? Only after sea swimming, slit banana longways once, tuck pieces of dark chocolate under skin, wrap in foil and bung in the hot white coals of a beach BBQ. Choc melts. Unearth and eat piping hot.

I'm sure liberal amounts of brandy or rum should also be involved

Cold banana, hot custard. Team DH.

Cold banana and hot custard.
Cold jelly and hot custard is also amazing!

JunkinDonuts · 08/03/2023 20:29

Cold bananas and hot custard....with some crunched up digestive biscuits.

OriGanOver · 08/03/2023 20:35

Cold banana and hot custard but I want to make it @UndertheCedartree way!

Clevs · 08/03/2023 20:37

Cold bananas and cold Ambrosia custard is the only way to have it!

overthinking23 · 08/03/2023 20:42

Cold bananas, cold custard, warm Nutella mixed in too 😍

JennyDarlingRIP · 08/03/2023 20:43

Bananas and custard is not a pudding. Where's the cake substance?!

tealandteal · 08/03/2023 20:46

I put the hot custard in the bowl and slice the banana on top, so cold banana.

Hawkins003 · 08/03/2023 20:48

Both methods seem efficient

notanoxfordcomma · 08/03/2023 20:49

Cold bananas, op, you're odd 🥴🤣

bloodyplanes · 08/03/2023 20:50

Eww cooked banana! Envy! It must be cold banana and hot custard!

Shodan · 08/03/2023 20:51

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

Well I bloody am now 😡😂I fear that might show our age...

Obviously the correct answer was cold banana, hot custard- but I was horrified to discover that my XH expected the banana to be mashed up and then have the custard mixed in. Should've known then that he was going to be an X.

Cold bananas AND cold custard!

You've made me want a bowl now

Veryverycalmnow · 08/03/2023 20:52

Add sliced banana right near end of heating up the custard. It flavours the custard that way but still resembles bananas slices. Not mush.

Both, bananas are rotten!

This!

early30smum · 08/03/2023 20:53

Neither. Both bananas and custard, separately, and together, can go in room 101 for me.

But if I was making them for the kids, DH’s way would be my choice.

Both, bananas are rotten!

They are. Vile fruit

BertHandsome · 08/03/2023 20:54

Team DP on the cold bananas but I’m with you on bbqed bananas, they’re banging.

Alphabet1spaghetti2 · 08/03/2023 20:58

@Shodan mah wah ha ha!!!

la La La, La La La, La La La de La lala la

one banana, two banana…

KillingLoneliness · 08/03/2023 19:45

Your are both being unreasonable, who eats bananas with custard!? 🤢

Agreed.

Veryverycalmnow · 08/03/2023 20:58

Didn't realise so many people hated bananas passionately! I always thought it was a popular fruit.

Wowjustwow99 · 08/03/2023 21:00

Cold banana 🍌
