@Sturgist@IsoKiero my Swedish friend introduced me to Flying Jacob and that stuff is so wrong and yet so right. What is it with Swedes and weird banana recipes
Also, a vote here for Goodfellas pizza (Birdseye). Very average but better than Dr Oetker by a country mile and the gluten free one is pretty decent
Flying Jacob Swedish casserole composed of chicken, whipping cream, chili sauce, bananas, roasted peanuts, bacon and Italian salad seasoning, which is a peculiar seasoning blend available only in Sweden. The dish is baked in an oven and is usually served with rice and a salad.
That didn’t help much on understanding it. And those are just your regular banans, not the kind you can get from chinese restaurant or something like that.
Errr… sorry, miscommunication. @IsoKiero@sopuli.xyz had been saying that Flying Jacob is made with regular bananas, not the one’s you get at an Asian market. And I was asking if they meant plantains, which are bananas but different. More starchy.
One thing I grew up eating, and I know a few other people who did as well, we all seem to be from North American families of Scottish descent, but have been in NA for the Great Depression…
Peanut butter and mayo sandwiches. I know it sounds disgusting, but it is legitimately good. Big glass of milk of the side.
@Sturgist honestly I like the sound of the sandwich more than the glass of milk! I’ve never really understood big cups of milk (my kids love them though). But as a marmite aficionado I am totally on board with you-do-you sandwich combinations.
@Sturgist yes I am!
I have heard good things about kewpie! But I have *also* heard British people say it tastes just like something we have here called salad cream, which is bewildering as nobody under about 70 would generally admit to liking salad cream
Banana Curry?
Fuck… that’s probably actually really good…sigh

The fuck is a Flying Jacob?!
I honestly have no idea. From wikipedia:

Plantains? But smaller, bit more bitter, absolutely banging in a Jamaican curry? Or fried…fuck…now I’m hungry…
@Sturgist @IsoKiero no, these are literally just bananas, cooked in a dish with some other random ingredients.

Which I did. In here they’re referred as ‘food bananas’ or ‘cooking bananas’, I just didn’t bother to look up the correct name.
@Sturgist it is so, so wrong. I’ve only had it once and I remember it being confusingly good https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flying/_Jacob I sort of liken it to weird American recipes like marshmallows and sweet potato (which I’ve tasted and did *not* like, so who knows)

That sounds hideous.

Maybe slightly lactose intolerant? I can guzzle milk, cheese is no issue, but cooked milk, custard and stuff, kills me.
Highly recommend peanut butter and mayo sandwiches! If you can find the Japanese mayo brand Kewpie, it’s highly superior.
@Sturgist yes I am!
