This Sh*t is Bananas; Tuesday, Third Period [06/18].
"Hey, everyone!" said Summer and you had about three seconds to feel like maybe that particular cheerfulness was just sort of some pre-birthday-weekend excitement before the real reason for that smile was revealed. "Today, I've actually got three recipes for you to consider!"
That was triple the banana fun, you guys! She beamed a little at that before continuing.
"But don't worry," she said, which surely put everyone at ease, right? "They're just little guys. Our first one is a recipe for spaghetti car-banana....just kidding! Even I'm not that weird, but it is for this Mystery Salad recipe from 1977. We might've been better off with the cars in pasta, actually.
"And then, after that, we're going to delve into one that is actually not so bad. A palate cleanser, so to speak, although it really is named horribly enough to make you think it's bad: banana scallops. But, luckily for all of us, this is not some unholy amalgamation of bananas and scallops, but, instead, a riff of fried bananas. Which are pretty good, actually, so there you go.
"If anyone wants to make actual banana scallops, or even think of the worst thing to potentially dip our banana scallops in, you will get all the extra credit.
"And finally, we're rounding today's selections out with not an actual banana at all, but a mock banana. That's right. Mock Banana. This is a recipe not from Americana, actually, but from jolly old England. It's a wartime recipe where apparently Brits were so desperate for the bananas they could no longer import that they came up with a wild way to use some parsnips and a few dashes of banana essence. Whether or not it succeeds, we're here to discover today."
