I was also surprised to learn that there are tons of varieties of bananas and not just the palagi ones we are use to. There are bananas that they boil or bake every sunday that are kind of dry but go really well with coconut milk (what doesn't?) and there are bananas that they bake in the skin and they taste like they've been baked in brown sugar. They are so sweet I almost can't eat them. But I think this one variety takes the kake fa'i.
yes, it is as big as Matthew's head....and Matthew has a big head. This is a banana. It was given to us by a dear friend and neighbour.
The meat is a neon yellow and after you eat it you pee the same color.....sorry, TMI. You cut it in disks and fry it up. It has the texture of a dense banana bunt cake and taste like a mix between a banana and a sweet ulu.....if that makes sense. It was good but the "end result" had us a bit worried. We weren't sure if that was a sign of superior nutrition or bio-hazardous material.

Who knew there were so many different kinds of bananas? And I like your information! It made me laugh!
The bananas sound yummy to me! Sorry about the gecko in your potty. That's ew.
We had a mouse in the house a little while back and I made a fool of myself and scared the small children half to death screaming at it. Lucy has learned to stomp her foot and say, "Go away mouse and don't come back." Or rather, in Lucy language, "dat dat dat." The foot stomping is dramatic though, so you can tell exactly what she means.
So fun to read and see pics from your adventures in Samoa. Good job on the language too! You amaze me.
