“This root [the potato], no matter how much you prepare it, is tasteless and floury. It cannot pass for an agreeable food, but it supplies a food sufficiently abundant and sufficiently healthy for men who ask only to sustain themselves. The potato is criticised with reason for being windy, but what matters windiness for the vigorous organisims of peasants and labourers?” |
| Denis Diderot (1713-1784) L'Encyclopedie (1751-1772) |

Grated Gruyere cheese can be used instead of cheddar cheese. Place
bananas in saucepan and add just enough chicken stock to cover. Bring
to a boil, reduce heat and simmer until bananas are tender, about 20
to 25 minutes. Using a potato masher, mash until smooth (chicken
stock will be absorbed). Let cool slightly. Meanwhile, heat butter in
a small frypan and saute onions until tender. Add the onions, cream,
beaten eggs to cooked bananas until combined; season with salt,
nutmeg and cinnamon to taste. Mixture will be quite moist. Place
banana mixture in a buttered shallow baking dish. Combine cheese with
bread crumbs; sprinkle over top. Bake at 350 for 35 - 40 minutes or
until top is golden. Serves 4 - 6. From The Gazette, 91/02/13.
