Re: Banana's
Commercially grown bananas are bred to have very small seeds and are often sterile.
Silence, exile, and cunning.
Re: Banana's
Yes, there's one kind of bananas in Cambodia (recognizable: short and relatively thick) you have to be careful with, they generally have some large seeds inside. These bananas are relatively cheap and called 'cheek prey' which means 'bananas from the forest'. For me they're the least favorable. The 'cheek pong moan' (chicken egg bananas) are the smallest kind, much more tasty, more expensive and without the seeds.

Re: Banana's
My Khmer better half says they're bad luck. Or more specifically the trees from which bananas with seeds grow. There's a Khmer ghost tale (and movie inevitably) about a female ghost (or possibly an "aap"... the floating torsos with entrails hanging down..I think they're always female) that enters a home by climbing this type of tree planted too close to the house. Chaos ensues.
Bad (and good) luck seems to be everywhere, mind you.

Re: Banana's
The banana ghost is not an Ap. It comes from a specific type of banana plant, so they must be planted a certain distance from your house.

Re: Banana's
That's the one. I'm not sure why my Mrs associates it with the bananas with seeds. Yeah now that I think of it the aaps are thought to dwell under houses....John Bingham wrote: ↑Thu Nov 03, 2022 12:38 pm The banana ghost is not an Ap.
