A LOVE STORT STARRING PLANTAIN

Plantain is my one food to eat for life because I would not have to ponder about it if someone asked me to pick one food to eat forever.

I saw this prompt and I was hoping to come up with a good reason why plantain is my favourite food.
Perhaps it's like those days of my childhood.
Perhaps it's laden with unique family memories.
Perhaps there is a sentimental tale behind it.
However, the reality is much simpler.
I just love plantain.
That's it.

No complicated explanation.
No emotional backstory.
There wasn't any experience that changed anyone's life when it involved plantain!
I just like it better than all other food.

Truthfully I have discovered that sometimes our favorite things have no logical explanation like We spend too much time rationalizing our likes and dislikes that we forget we like these things because we like it, not because it makes sense.

Plantain has been my food all the time.
Boiled plantain?
I'll eat it.
Fried plantain?
Absolutely.
Roasted plantain?
Without hesitation.
Plantain porridge?
Bring it on.

Right now, I can confidently say I would have plantain for a whole month if that was all I could find available.

I love plantain because of its versatility.. It can be either the main course, a side dish, a snack or even a comfort food after a long day.

There's also the different stages of plantain which are satisfying.
At slightly ripe stage, it is sweet as well as firm.
Once it's ripe, it tastes great like something you would enjoy!
Each version is unique in its personality.
Some people have this perception about rice, pasta, or potatoes.
For me it's plantain.

When people ask, "So, why is it your favorite food?," I'm often forced to come up with a convincing answer, and what's funny is it's not one of those .

Why is plantain my favourite food?
The truth is I don't even know and I don't think i need a reason.
Sometimes its just because it tastes good.
That's all I can say for that.

To be perfectly truthful, just the sight of plantain on a plate makes me feel better! Whether breakfast, lunch or dinner it doesn't matter.
I'm already interested if plantain is involved.
I believe that food is special if it continues to make you happy, and as far as I can remember, plantain has done that for me.
It may not be the priciest item of food.
It may not be the most refined of meals, but it is certainly the best of times.
It has however, become a stand out on my list of favourites.
If you ever invite me over for a meal and you're like, "what did you want for dinner pal,", don't worry so much.
Just ensure that plantain is a part of the menu.
I don't want to ask any questions, likely.
Just like with things in life that have to be explained, some loves don't.
But my love for plantain is definitely one of them.
