Whenever a stalk of bananas comes ripe, out back, it’s banana nut bread time. This happens about once a month, which is good timing. In Samoa, we don’t buy bananas, we just always seem to have some. Eat them with cereal, in fruit salad, with a little milk and sugar or, like the monkeys do. Read more Who taught monkeys to peel bananas? Never mind. A stalk comes ripe, cut it off the tree, cut down the tree, stash a couple hands for yourself and give the rest to the neighbors. Tree ripened bananas are just great food and, for this cake, the riper the better. You can also cut a hand off just before they turn yellow, peel some, steam them and finish off by cooking in coconut cream, until it thickens. A very nice side dish. See less
