Try these Banana Dishes

PART from bananas being excellent food, they make some very good dishes and garnishes, and if these were to be collected in a single book you would be surprised how many different ones there are, not only sweet, but savoury, too.

Here are just a few. Banana Cream, jelly with slices of bananas floating attractively in it. Banana Fool, Banana Fritters, these are familiar to us all, but what about Banana Turnovers ?
