Bananas Are
Delicious in
Many Forms

The banana is a versatile food.
adaptable TO many uses. The old
fashioned dish of bananas and milk
really can not be improved on as
combination of high nutritive value.
Often one hears it said that
bananas arc hard to digest. This is
not true, provided the banana Is a
ripe one. Bananas, as is the case
with other fruits, are hard to di-
geSt in their under-ripe state.
To be ripe, a banana must be yell
low and we'll spotted with brown,
and must have a rich ripe odor in
stead of a starchy, green one. Some
times banana skins are brown from
bruises and still too green for
wholeSomeneas. A little experience
will enable one to judge the correct
stage Of ripeneSs.
1t often is possible to purchase
sound bananas which may be
slightly under-ripe and allow them
to reach the correct stage Of ripeness
lin your home. They will do this If
they are placed in a warm spot.
For a luncheon dessert, try this
delicious banana custard:

Cmstnrd Needs Care

Custards curdle because of too
much heat. This means that if the
water surrounding the custard in
the double boiler boils too rapidly,
or if the custard is allowed to cook
after it has coated the spoon, it will
curdle, due to overheating or too
much cooking. If soft custard
curdles. it may be restored fairly
well by setting it in a pan of cold
water and using a Dover beaten.
