If you mean the Bananas Foster, yes and no… you get some banana flavor of course, but lots of other flavors as well. It's mighty tasty. Pretty rich, though… not recommended if you're on a diet or watching your blood sugar levels, lol.

I've only eaten ripe (not fried) plantains… As the /. people above said, they are similar to, but firmer than bananas. I would say the plantain is denser, too. The taste is similar, but for the most part, bananas are much sweeter. That's been my experience. Also, a plantain has to be very ripe before you can even peel it. Bananas, not so much.

I like bananas to get fairly speckled on the peel before I'll even bother with them. They're a lot sweeter if you let them get that way. But most people I know seem to like to eat them when they're still almost green. Well, I guess I'm weird, but I like my 'nanas sweet, lol.

Actually, for the most part, very ripe (uncooked) plantains taste pretty good. They're not as sweet as a banana, and the "flesh" or whatever you call it is noticeably denser (starchier) than that of a banana, but I've eaten some dead-ripe plantains that were pretty darn good. I would also mention that due to their density, you can easily make a whole meal out of just one. But yeah, the key here is they need to be very ripe: the skin on them must be dark brown, almost black.
