Tasting The Rare Gros Michel 🍌, or Big Mike, & Making a Flying Jacob 🇸🇪Banana Casserole

[@1lxpg]

I have several Gros Michel plants in my garden. The ones that I have growing are tissue culture plants from Africa. They are a large banana with a through and through banana flavor. The Cavendish is not the only commercial variety sold in the U.S. The Gran Nain is also very popular. Different companies use different bananas. del Monte, or Dole doesn't have the same bananas as Chiquita. Commercial bananas are picked green, then stored in large warehouses at a low temperature to stop the ripening process until they are ready for fulling shipping orders. A few days before shipping the temperature is raised and methane gas is pumped into the warehouses to start the ripening process. Home grown bananas are much different than artificial ripened bananas. I grow Cavendish and they are definitely different from store bought in both texture and taste, but mostly similar. A Blue Java subgroup called the Ice Cream banana is quite good, with overtones of vanilla ice cream flavor. Dwarf Nam Wa is also an extremely sweet banana. Mona Lisa has to be one of the most aromatic and tasty bananas that I have. Some rare varieties...Dwarf Maoli (pink orange flesh) Pisan Gua (from Thailand) Pisang Ceylon, Red Jamaican, Saba, Venti Cohol, Kandarian, Orinoco, Sweetheart, Mahoi (two stalks on one plant) Hua Moa, The list is almost endless of the varieties. If you live in a southern climate such as myself (southwest Florida) growing tropical fruits is quite fun, but it is hard work. Lost of organic composting, natural fertilizers, plenty of water and plenty of sunshine. Guavas, Papayas, Avocados, Surinam Cherries, Loquats, berry bushes (black raspberry, loganberry) Mulberry tree, of course citrus, and pomegranates (very hard to get to fruit)

[@therealJamieJoy]

That is so awesome! thank you for sharing all this info. Fruits are my favorite food, bananas are likely my least favorite fruit. The idea of trying many varieties as you have describes is exciting and fun. :)

Holy --bananas Batman, thats so cool. I thought there was only a few varieties. Great info. Thanks.

[@Nathanscottphilipps]

I wanted to try the ice cream banana, but the few times I've been someplace that had them, they either weren't in season or they were out of them. I've tried some awesome sapotes that had an ice creamish taste though.

[@ursularowe3353]

I had no idea there were so many banana types.

[@josi4251]

Oh, and fun fact: if the bananas you have on hand get too ripe, just toss them peel and all into the freezer. When you want to make banana bread or muffins, just thaw and use in the recipe. Works like a charm!

[@xingcat]

I was a kid in the 70s and one of my aunts used to make this from a recipe box she subscribed to that gave you 10 recipes each month from around the world. It's pretty tasty and I 100% forgot about it until I saw this video.

[@mariaprado391]

[@AVest421]

As a swede, I honestly don't know this was weird or even specifically Swedish. But I know that they did a lot of weird combos in the 70s, like the classic ham, hollandaise with pineapple rings. etc.

SonsOfLorgar Do you have a recipe for that? Sounds intrerresting.

[@adoby83]

Another Swede here. I remember Flygande Jakob from my youth. Not my favorite food, but I do like it a lot. This is a very time specific dish for Swedes in the fifties-sixties and it is difficult to serve in Sweden without a lot of nostalgia and talk about parties and Disco. Gloria Gaynor, ABBA, Donna Summer, Eurythmics and so on.

[@amiewhitlock]

Thanks for confirming that this is a real thing! Chicken and bananas is such a weird combination to my stunted American palate that I thought Emmy might be trolling us 😂

[@dariam8917]

Jag blev så inspirerad av Emmy! Nu vet jag vad vi ska äta till helgen!

[@filipgloria]

We always ate this when I was a kid! My mom used to whisk the cream so it thickens a bit before putting the chili sauce in, to get it to cover the bananas properly. It’s nice, because the sugar in the chili sauce coats the bananas and caramelize in the oven so it gets even more delicious! 😍 It’s, by far, my favorite dish! You should try this topping on a pizza as well (very common in Sweden): tomato sauce, pork, banana, curry powder and mozzarella! To add some extra richness, have some bearnaise sauce on the side! Absolutely delicious!

[@TheWitchvortex]

I was lucky to try the famous banana pizza a few weeks ago in Sweden. It was absolutely great!!!

[@bobhill5791]

The Gros Michel bananas Miami fruit is selling now are way smaller than the ones the United Fruit company was selling from the late 1800's through the 50's and possibly early 60's in some regions. There are dwarf varieties of it so this may explain the size.

[@fnjesusfreak]

So it's become the Petit Michel? xD

[@drflash36]

@florence Upton ROTFLMAO!

[@werepat]

I thought it might be named ironically, like there was a guy named Michelle that thought he was gods gift to women and then somebody named this little guy after him.

[@1lxpg]

That is true, but it also depends on where they come from. There are some that are now being propagated from original plants in Africa (before they were industrialized) I have talked with a few people who say they are as close to the originals as possible. There is so much cross breeding and sometimes tissue cultures are not properly identified and you get a plant that is not even close to what is advertised. It can be a huge crap shoot.

[@larsstoerloes6619]

I'm from Norway, and this was a big thing there too. I remember when I was a kid in the nineties we would alternate weeks. One week we would have taco Friday, and the next would be flygende Jacob Friday. I am myself not very fond of bananas, so we used to make it halv and half, so one side would be without banana and the other side with, as my sister is rather fond of them.

[@roberthunter4884]

[@lattemama]

Yet another Swede here. I love this dish (I'm a child of the 70's) and I would have it more often if my kids liked it too. I usually whip the cream, then mix with the chili sauce (Heinz had a Hot Chilli Sauce a few years ago but it seems to have been discontinued). And I add heaps of curry powder as well (if Emmy did that I must have zoned out just then). I sprinkle bacon on top like Emmy but I prefer to cook the peanuts in the sauce. I think I'll have to force it on the kids one day because it's been a while.

Usually people don´t like swedish dishes because the strange mixing of ingredients we have! But when you said: "It´s delicious", I got so happy!!! I love this dish! Greetings from Sweden. You really perfected the recipe the way I make it! Only difference I make is that I keep the skin of the chicken and I also whisk the cream a bit heavier and then add the chilli sauce after that.

[@dicedrice7216]

A friend of mine, who is from Germany, makes this but with ground beef -- delicious! Also.... Bananas are most nutritious and sweetest when are turning brown. The peel starts to deteriorate causing the nutrients and sugars to leave the peel and go into the banana.

It sounds so gross nut it's actually very delicious! Who would think that it would work together!

[@HeathenMaiden]

As someone who grew up on food from that era in Sweden, there were more casseroles that featured the combination of meat, sauce, curry powder, bananas and peanuts besides just the Flying Jacob. A staple in our family still to this very day (from a recipe in my family's main cookbook from 1982), and one of my absolute favorites, is a pork tenderloin casserole with a creamy curry sauce and peanuts, that you eat together with rice and top it with banana slices, more peanuts (and we also add cashews), raisins and coconut flakes. It sounds super bizarre, but when mixed all together it's AMAZING.

[@healinggrounds19]

I live in Florida and realized these are the type of bananas my neighbors grow! I am going to see if I can grow some too. She also grows the fancy blue ones that are super sweet.

[@riverAmazonNZ]

ohmbug1 there are red and pink too. I’ve tried red bananas, I thought they had a subtle berry flavour as well as the flavour you’d expect.

[@ReyOfLight]

One of the best Swedish recipes! Perfect mix of sweet and salty and goes wonderful with rice! Love it! Also a perfect dish to serve when you have guests because it’s easy to prepare beforehand and just heat up in the oven while cooking the rice and voila, a nice meal without having to be in the kitchen all the time! In my family we tend to use chicken breast or de-boned chicken thighs cooked from scratch at home, and we use ketchup instead of chili sauce in the cream sauce. And we cut the banana into banana coins so it’s easier to eat and more evenly spread out throughout the dish. The bacon adds a lot as well, but the peanuts can be omitted unless you want them for the texture. Heck, now I think I’ll have to suggest to mum that we cook Flygande Jacob this coming weekend!

[@tippib2222]

I feel like Jacob invented that dish after he’d had too much aquavit and had some airline peanuts left over from work, but everything turned out ok!

[@rhettlover1]

That is kinder than what I thought, there must have been a lot of crazy drugs going on then. Wouldn't this be a dream dish for those who indulge and have pot munchies?

When we had a lot of bananas that were ripe, my Mon would cut them into bite sized pieces, sprinkle on a little sugar, and add milk just to cover them. She stirred it up and put it in the fridge for dessert. It was my favorite!

[@YTistooannoying]

Bananas are my favorite fruit. I love them so much. Also, banana candy, ice cream, shake, yogurt. Yum.

[@1lxpg]

I just cut down a stalk of Mona Lisa bananas. They are some of my absolute favorites. These are the first ones I have had here in my yard. The stalk was about 25 pounds/120 bananas. There were 4 ripe ones when I cut it. I hung thee stalk on the patio to ripen naturally. They were ripening from the top down. We were eating them every day, my wife took them to her work, I gave away a bunch to neighbors and friends. There was still a half a stalk left yesterday. They were almost all ripe. When I came out this morning to feed our fish in the pound every single banana was on the patio floor. They all fell off overnight. I have never seen that before, and I have had a lot of bananas. Picked them all up, took them in the house and washed them all. I counted and I had just 50 of them. It will be banana bread tonight (Amish recipe) some will freeze and the rest will be banana/blueberry smoothies and banana cream pie.

[@heleneandersson7649]

Amie C it’s quite common, especially paired with curry. It’s a bit retro though. I think it comes from a time when these ingrediens became more common and people made ”exotic” dishes without really knowing how to use the ingrediens. I’m a swedish 80:s child and I love banans in food ;)

[@deborahjones6330]

Loved this recipe! I might surprise my guests with it one of these days. And as for Heinz Chili Sauce...it's the very best thing to make old fashion Sweet-n-Sour Meatballs. 2 lbs Cooked Frozen Cocktail Size Meatballs (store bought or homemade), 1 18 oz jar Welch's or Smuckers Grape Jelly and 1 12 oz jar Heinz Chili Sauce. You can make this on the stove top or in a slow cooker. I like the slow cooker the best...it makes a richer sauce. Serve as an appetizer or over buttered noodles with a side salad and you've got dinner. Delish!

Love Flygande Jakob and similar casseroles - growing up in Sweden in the 70's will do that to you!

I never made it myself growing up, I only helped chopping (and eating) the sausage, but I can make it from memory anyway because it's just that simple.

When Emmy was talking about taking a bite with a little bit of everything, I could only think about Rachel’s trifle. 😬

[@territimmerman140]

I'm a huge FRIENDS fan so I loved this reference.

[@whiteedk]

My lovely brother gifted me 3 types of rare bananas when I graduated this summer. The small ones, some red bananas and one more I don’t remember. They where SO good! More citrusy and tangy and perfumy, not at all like normal bananas

[@henry1050]

"My hands are impeccably CLEAN, thanks Julia..." the shade

[@WiggyWamWam]

A reference to Julia Child, who had a cooking show and would always say, “grab it with your impeccably clean hands” or “knead it with your impeccably clean hands” etc

[@Birdbike719]

Who would have thought there was so much to learn about bananas! Or that they would be good with chicken. Thanks, Emmy

[@Poonamsmartkitchen]

Delicious recipe 😍

[@ArgaAnders]

Flygande Jakob might sound weird but it´s actually pretty darn good! Mind you, this recipe comes from a country that is notorious for putting bananas on pizza!

[@Paytikim]

I've always wondered if Emmy actually finishes all the foods she cooks for each video

[@melinaz3385]

I like when you make recipes! today I changed the speed of the video and had you at half speed, that was funny while you added the cream!

[@KNPrince]

What happened to the Fruity Fruits theme song?!!! I missed singing along with it!

[@girillanoreyhanuno3789]

in indonesia, we fry unripe pisang raja (cut in half, or like a fan) with a thin coat of sweet kinda like tempura batter, and then fried it. it's great, and very vertile. many eat it with sweet toppings (condensed milk, choco sprinkles) or savory like sambal

[@laughernine4320]

Emmy I feel like everything smells “a little lemony” to you. 😂

[@Careful3890]

I’m Swedish and i did this Flygande Jacob one time. I will never repeat it! I love bananas, peanuts, cream, rice and chicken but i can’t stand it cooked together. Nope, i rather have a tunnbrödrulle! Yum!

[@RaymondArias]

I miss the "FRUITY FRUITY FRUITY. . . ." theme. . . .

[@karenramnath9993]

Raymond Zacchaeus Arias Yes! Where is our “Frooty Froots” song??!!!

[@mandrakescreams]

I'm delighted it has gone! No need to skip the start of the video any more yay

[@RioRav]

same, but i just sing it myself at the start and it works out pretty great _b

[@krahvata]

Isn't that just for exotic fruits that are rare?

[@RaymondArias]

@@krahvata Nope, that is for the fruity fruits that are fruity. I mean, she used it for most of her fruit tasting videos.

[@TheBlondiesNr1]

I LOVE flying jacob! In my (swedish) family we always put mushrooms in too 🤤 And nowadays I make it vegetarian with quorn instead of chicken and soy-based bacon

[@designerdancer94]

If you have enough bananas I’d love to see you make an old banana bread/cake recipe with gros Michelle’s!!

[@Selene13zz]

We grew up eating Hines Chili Sauce on our scrambled eggs - an absolute must! It's a great combo between ketchup and a hot chili sauce (it's really not hot - my Mom loves it and she doesn't eat garlic bc she thinks it's too hot! 😂 ). Try it on your eggs next time!!! If too mild, mix in a bit of Siracha. Yum.

[@aBc-123-XyZ]

14:20 "Hey,has anyone seen Big Mike?" No,but I've seen Fat Albert. "Hey,hey,hey." 😂✌

[@cylversprings]

I have seen Magic Mike!!

[@aBc-123-XyZ]

@@treyk9007 hey,hey,hey. 😂✌

[@ohmbug10]

Hey, hey, hey it's faaaaat Albert!😀 Ya brought back a memory from Saturday mornings long, long ago.

[@aBc-123-XyZ]

@@ohmbug10 yeah and BeBe's kids. Miss those shows. 😎✌

[@missysmith5378]

We went to Ecuador in 1985 and ate a fruit that was about the size if the Big Mike. They called them deditos . They were very sweet and stronger flavor.

[@Annie.xx-xx]

Emmy’s hair looks amazing in this video

[@wescollins2981]

It really does

[@michellejones2427]

Yes I love the hair behind the ear look! 😍

[@clarkrogers7789]

i love that she’s been growing it out.

[@aaroncowles2504]

Emmy always looks amazing -so does her hair

[@ohmbug10]

Emmy is just all around awesome! Great burps too!

[@MrForadrian]

I just want to say how much my fiancé and I just love your videos! We learn something every time you post your videos we love you Emmy.❤️

[@the1andonlytrav]

Pulling apart a rotisserie chicken is so satisfying lol

[@JaydelCorro]

I've been wanting to try Flying Jacob since I saw Chef Magnus Nilsson talk fondly about it. Now I have a good recipe. Thanks!

[@bobg1685]

"The big Mike isn't actually all that big." Uh-oh.

[@Romanticoutlaw]

no Magic Mike here, huh?

[@krisb8727]

I mix one bottle of that chili sauce and a jar of grape jelly or can of cranberry sauce in the crockpot with frozen meatballs. Everyone loves them!

[@KullHell]

As a kid I hated Flygande Jakob. As most Swedish kids do. 😅 Now I love it! Although I make a veggie version. 🍌🥜

[@FrarmerFrank]

Gros Michel are called Bluefields in Hawaii and most private farms sell them to stores or at flea markets as "bananas " along with Cavandish/Williams,larger Apple Bananas,or Lady Finger Bananas
