>When I first moved to S. Florida and went grocery shopping I bought one. Hey, this looks like a cool banana, I think I'll try it. Took it home, sliced it up and put in on my Rice Crispies. :O Not quite what I was expecting. Kinda like chewing on leather, but not as good. I'll stick to the fried ones you get at the cuban restraunts. < s >

I did a similar thing in Guatemala, tasted awful raw, but fried is great!.

P.S. Never, never eat a raw olive.
