History

[edit]

Any updates on history? Mekhi.airhart (talk) 22:51, 24 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Mekhi.airhart: the problem is the lack of a clear meaning of the term "plantain" or even "true plantain". As explained at Cooking banana and here there is no real distinction between plantains and other kinds of cultivated Musa fruit. You could write about the history of banana/plantain cultivation in West Africa, or about the history of banana/plantain cultivation in the Pacific, but you can't really write about the history of "plantains" separate from "bananas".
