Literally right out the Security Gate of the Agnes Lodge was the Munda Landing, where the outlying islanders attempt to sell their (food) products to others. Sweet Potatoes, Clams, various vegetables, and a prolifera of Bettlenut! Amongst these we discovered bananas. Mom (Florence, now 99 years young) told me that they were safe to eat, and so we selected several types, from small, lemony tasting ones, to the longer, more familiar tasting ones we were a bit more accustomed to. $5 Solomon, or about 50 cents US, gets you a bunch and we ate them for a few days. Ripe on the tree, they taste different than the "imported green" ones we get at Safeway.
