OK, well, I'm sort of disappointed and relieved at the same time.
Disappointed that it's not a coconut flower that can be eaten and
relieved that I hadn't some how missed hearing about it all these
years.

So then, how does one eat a banana flower? I vaguely recall hearing
about them being eaten, but I don't think I've ever heard of how one
goes about preparing them.
