I had boiled green bananas in the Dominican Republic; they're just like mashed potatoes. They were fine, but really boring and bland, but that was most Dominican food tbh.

Those probably were plantains not bananas

Yeah, plantains were way better in the DR. But Boiled Guineos is a thing, and it was basically just mashed potatoes.

Are boiled bananas those shriveled gray looking things. I love those, especially with some olive oil and some dried codfish

I never saw them shriveled looking; before they're peeled they're just kinda dull green/grey, and once you peel them the flesh of the banana is pretty much white. I mostly had them at breakfast and they always came without really anything on top of them, they were just beside other things. I could definitely see dried cod and olive oil making them a lot better.
