Listen, Jack, the chocolate and peanut butter chips melted into that ubiquitous candy combo, which tasted great with the warm, creamy banana. The crisped marshmallows offered a bit of contrast in texture, and an additional cookout feel with their roasted flavor. A classic from start to finish, these banana boats have now found a place in my heart, just as they did for my mother so many years ago. :Biden-nibble:

      I'm Canadian and I find most American food has way too much sugar in it. Stuff that you wouldn't even think would have sugar as an ingredient. I remember having a house-made sausage patty one time, at a pretty decent restaurant, and it was like they spilled syrup into the sausage grinder. Why? It's sausage. It doesn't need sugar!

          how sugary the bread is

          I was raised on generic, store bought bread all my life living with my parents and for a period after. A couple years ago, I switched over to a generic sourdough. Some months back, I bought some of my older style bread just because I was curious;. it was so damn sugary compared to the sourdough I could barely handle it

          I remember a little factoid that there are fewer than ten items on the McDonald's menu that don't have added sugar.

      I'm American and when I go shopping - I have to check the ingredients of everything to see if they are pumped full of sugar or not so I can avoid the shitty items. For many months in a row I went to Trader Joe's which is very unusual in the US. It's like a chain of grocery stores - not supermarkets. They are different and items are not pumped full of sugar. I got used to ignoring the list of ingredients.

      Then I went to my local supermarket and I forgot to check the ingredients on everything. That night I made a tuna sandwich with pita bread and there was sweetness in my mouth. I forgot to check the pita bread. It was sugar city. I was so annoyed.

    Makes me think of the Boomer classic Elvis' grilled banana sandwich but without the bread. Grills do all sorts of neat things to food flavor, not a surprise.

    I always hated these banana filling things. Probably because they usually involve peanut butter, which I don't like. Also I don't like bananas which doesn't help

      you want different kinds of sugar mixed together to maximize the power of each hit

      Warm brownie with cold vanilla ice cream is such a perfect combo I can't imagine debasing it with anything else. I mean if I'm spending the money and eating the calories, I want it to be as good as possible.
