i was given a taste of this in the Bahamas, it had a sweet pulpy whitish flesh with a yellow skin......the native said they called them 'bananas', i havent seen one since...can anyone tell me a bit more about this elusive fruit and is it possible to have them exported to the UK

The elusive banana comes out to feed during the night and can be seen with the naked eye. During the summer, if you're silent and lucky, you can hear the mating call of the males gently serenading the female bananas. I find the most effective way to capture these tropical creatures is to lay a few scoops of ice cream on a dish, topped with whipped cream, chopped nuts, and cherries. Good luck with your search!

If I'm thinking right..its the Spanish (panamanian) Pixbae; pronounced Pifa fruit. It typically is taken off the trees, boiled, peeled and eaten. The inside looks like cheddar cheese kind of color and has a nut inside. Very Very Tasty =)

hmm, a bahama banana?
and you say they only let you have a taste, not the whole fruit?
must be something special, maybe the forbidden fruit of eternal youth.
if you find some, let me know! or even better, lets run away to the bahamas together and eat the sweet, sweet goodness!

Although the Bahamians call them Bananas, it's not their proper name, bit like the Americans calling a wallet a 'pocket book'. The correct name for the fruit is Sananabs and they are readily available from the Cayman or Windward Islands.
I am informed that the local agent for both sources is a chap locally known as Captain Bligh.

Plantain (Baking bananas) They are 30 to 40 cm. large and are green, yellow or red-like. They cannot be eaten raw. They fulfill the role of the potato in the tropical countries. You can buy them in ethnic supermarkets.
