Every human has a unique taste and desire when comes to food, it might be as a result of many factors. sometimes it might be as a result of health factors or challenges, religious beliefs or being fond of consuming a specific class of food. in my own case it is hard to tell which of the above it is it.

As as far I could remember, my family has always owned a farm, which we plant and Harvest different type of crops, not really for commercial purposes it is meant for the consumption of the family. I have written about it a couple of times on my blog. apart from the regular planting of other crops, our plantain plantation has always been constant on the farm.

Anytime we go around to clean up the farm and do some work around the surroundings, there are high chances of coming across ripe plantain ready for harvest. Most times even if it is not ripe enough, we will have to harvest to prevent it from being eaten by other animals like monkey or birds.

As a result of that, one of the most available meal at home was plantain, as a kid I had a very soft tooth which makes it difficult for me to consume hard meals, knowing the soft nature of plantain it just became my most preferred dish. the funny part is, it doesn't really have to be cooked because when plantain is ripe it can be eaten raw just like banana.

I consumed a lot of it raw when I was a child, either in the farm or at home, it got to an extent that I was nicknamed monkey 😅, my mom had to change the position where the plantain was kept in the store, she makes sure it was kept at the upper part of the store where my hands could not reach or I can't really have access to but that didn't work, I climbed it many times but not always successful 😅.

Though as I grew older, my preference changed a little. I still love to consume it raw but not like before. the funny part of it is, it doesn't matter how it is prepared or which spice is added to it as long as it is plantain, it is fine by me.
