Plantain Seller
The Temple Elephant at the Virupaksha Temple dearly loves bananas, and so quite naturally the banana seller sitting by the temple gateway does a roaring trade.

I see her as a blogger and each banana as a post. Perhaps I am approaching the point of no return?
Clearly its Blogger Burnout. Terminal I’m afraid. Look forward to seeing your next banana….. 🙂
Ok, it’s ready. 🙂
The slightest perception of colour suits the subject very well indeed .. rather clever that John.
Act of desperation…….. the colour version was totally yellow. Thanks Helen.
haha..now don’t spoil my compliment by telling me that John
….. Oh, sorry Helen………… as ever all your comments are exceedingly welcome, and your compliments are stored in my heart……. 🙂
😀
Fantastic
Hi Merilee, thanks, for your encouragement.
Those are the smallest plantains I’ve ever seen! Does everything grow bigger in the Americas?
I regret Margarita that I am unable to provide an answer to your question about the size of bananas, nor can I give a definitive response about everything in the Americas compared with everything everywhere else, but I am reliably informed that size does not matter, and also that small ones are tastier, though I will readily accept that I can neither confirm or prove either statement to be true. I hope that I have provided you with an answer of sorts…. best regards, John.
Well, if the small ones are tastier, then size DOES matter! lol Perhaps it’s a matter of terminology. In Venezuela, where I’m from, those things in the basket are a type of bananas. Plantains (or platanos as I know them) are large, starchier, less sweet and harder to peel. Language is an interesting thing…Thanks, John! All the best, M
A great reply…………. thanks
I prefer apples
John 🙂
It’s interesting you should say that since some of the small bananas are called “manzanillas” because they taste like apples!
All the best, 😉 M
