Never really made anything with bananas except banana pancakes and banana bread...fruit salad. Banana on toast with peanut butter. Banana sandwiches. Maybe some bastardized banana split at some point.

I saw some miniature bananas at the store the other day and I had an awesome idea for a banana pie. I've deep fried plantain bananas, but I think you mean the kind that's usually eaten as a fruit.

Banana custard is probably pretty good. I guess you could also make ... I forgot what I had in mind. Banana jam/compote/syrup is probably possible, but would probably be somewhat sickening. There was banana on pizza the other day, banana and chicken can probably pair if you eat meat. Banana and pineapple go well together, maybe a banana and pineapple upside-down cake. Banana muffins. You can dry them, use them in cereal. Banana oatmeal is pretty good. I think I've seen grilled bananas at some point. If you coat a slice with sugar and caramelize the sugar with a torch, it could make an interesting component for desserts.

If you use them a bit green, I could see them in some Asian soups. Maybe part of a Thai curry. Banana sushi. Here's a banana hot-dog. I've had bananas in my Bachelor Chow (essentially rice and lentils). I guess you could also stirfry them, when they're greenish they're not as soft and a bit bitter, while not being overly sweet and keeping the interesting flavor and aroma.

There are probably more things you can do with them, but like I said, it's not an ingredient I really explored, and it's something I seldom have lying around.
