Hahaha I actually grew up eating both bananas and plantains. When ripe, they can be delicious and doesn't need cooking. But I also realize that there's not a unanimous consensus on what's defined as a plantain. So I rest my case

Yeah, another person here is very adamant that I am wrong because banana and plantain are the same in Spanish. She does not accept that in English, and in American grocery stores, they are two distinct things . . . But I have seen in grocery stores I believe is technically classified as a "true plantain". I think I might've had one once. Perhaps this is the week that I will try one!

Hello,
Your entry for the 2-10-2 writing prompt contest is okay but doesn't make sense.. plantain is a banana .... it's food. If it's a joke it's not funny.
Good syllables count but the connection between lines can be improved.
Good luck in the contest.

Thanks for your feedback! Plantains are not bananas. I know that in some languages (Spanish) they are the same. But plantains have to be cooked. You can find them in American grocery stores and they tend to be green and quite hard, as opposed to bananas, which are usually not cooked.

Plantains are fruits that are generally used in cooking. They may be eaten ripe or unripe. Many cooking bananas are referred to as plantains or green bananas click here for Wikipedia

Yes, well, also mentioned in your Wikipedia article as a reference to true plantains. These are the sort I am referring to, which are not eaten without cooking. In American English, when people say plantains, they are generally referring to true plantains like the ones in the picture shown in this Wikipedia article. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/True_plantains

Still, it's food

I'm from Spain, banana in Spanish is PLATANO.
I'm over it.

That?s why I didn?t write this in Spanish . . .

This made me laugh as it brought back a memory. A workmate bought a bunch of these thinking they were banana. We had no idea they had to be cooked! Good write, thanks for sharing.

That sounds like a terrible experience Geoff. I hope it never happens to you again. Long live bananas.

Really great humor entry here, mystery writer, paired perfectly with this classic meme. You do well to make a statement with very few words and are able to add humor as well - a tough mix. Really well done; best of luck in the contest.
