Go Bananas After Dark
Because Des Moines is a top banana consuming (per capita) city, along with New Orleans and Kansas City,
Dole was in Des Moines today promoting bananas as more than a breakfast food. They smoked bananas, grilled bananas and cooked banana shrimp kebabs.
The banana tasted better in the smoked version but the marshmallows did not like the slow low heat of the smoker.
The banana was the best part of the kebabs, they were perfectly cooked – sweet and not the least bit mushy while the pepper was undercooked and the shrimp overcooked. I’d add cherry tomatoes.
