First time I have had this combo for breakfast: fried plantain, fried egg, parched corn, and diluted orange juice. And it might be the last time I eat this combo, unless I can make the parched corn easier to chew.

In my experience, you have to let plantains get black before they are edible. Something with the starches turning to sugar and then they caramelize when you cook them.

I believe I did wait. I probably could have fried them better but I don't think it's ever going to be a food I love.

Speaking of bananas though, I had three ripe ones I froze before camping. I was thinking of making apple banana bread.

I've never had apple-banana bread, although I love banana bread.

I have heard the same, and it seemed that I was chewing up an occasional crystal of sugar in the fried plantain.
