Hi, thank you Nicole. Yes, the recipes on the link are ‘skewiff’ but the ingredients give the gist of the dish. Green bananas are an important staple for many Island nations, and it makes sense that they’d be readily used in north Queensland as well. Hannah Maclurcan managed the Queen’s Hotel in Townsville when she first published her cookbook, moving to Sydney in 1901. Cheers, Jacqui

HI Alison, no tummy aches from eating them cooked in the curry, but they are very filling and the dish quite rich. The fresh onion and leafy herbs helped temper their starchy density. cheers, Jacqui

I was taught, and experienced, that if you ate green bananas, you’d get a tummy ache. They certainly have a floury, sticky taste if they are not quite ripe. Do you not get a tummy ache if you cook the green bananas?
