In Soviet times, when I was a little girl, "get" somewhere bananas were very hard. I remember the feeling of amazement when at the birthday party of a friend, I saw a whole vase of these exotic fruits! It later turned out that it wasn't real, but they were so delicious that the frustration he felt, and now 20 years on I them remembered with nostalgia. Now bananas will surprise nobody, and here "miracle banana" in my recipe... very even. May not surprise, but delight-that is for sure!!!
