A plantain is not a raw banana. I found that out a really long time ago, when I decided to let a plantain ripen and eat it. A ripe plantain isn't unpleasant but it's definitely NOT a banana.I cut up the plantain, removing the head and the tail. After pressure cooking it I removed the skin and fork-mash it. The twins accepted it after adding a little salt. Just another vegetable - they didn't particularly like or dislike it.
