Can't recall the last time I cooked with bananas. Apparently I'm cooking Maryland-style wrong. I do like plantains?

 

Probably when the port of Baltimore was actually busy. The B&O railroad and the National Highway (now US 40) connected the port of Baltimore with the interior, and the city was one of the US top ten by population from the earliest census through 1980, rising as high as #2 from 1830 to 1850.

 

I suppose the original could have been plantains given Baltimore is a sea port and had a booming spice trade with the Windies

It was probably bananas. Baltimore cuisine has always been idiosyncratic.
