The Story Behind It

The Tale of Ladob Banann

Ladob banann, essentially the same dish known elsewhere as ladob bannan, stews ripe bananas in coconut milk with vanilla and nutmeg. The spelling reflects variation in written Seychellois Creole (Kreol), and it remains a beloved everyday Creole dessert across the islands.
