    Those appear to be Plantains, not the typical yellow cavendish you buy.

    Plantains are not sweet, but starchy like a potato, which means this is likely delicious.

      I don’t know how you think you can tell what they are by size.

      The recipe merely states “6 medium bananas.” It’s American, circa 1973. 100% chance it means Cavendish.

        I didn’t see a link to the recipe so I did not have the context you do.

        That context would have changed my response.

      They look like Cavendish to me. Or at least, I remember plantains having sharper angles and being thicker.

        Maybe you have a point there. Hard to tell. They would be much better as plantains.
