Oh but it does!! This version and other similar versions have been
around for decades, at the very least 60 years. Probably longer.
Have you ever had a real, honest to goodness, bonafide, banana
pudding??? They are absolutely just delicious, no doubt about it.
Probably the reason they are a favorite at family get togethers and
Sunday dinner here in the South.

Banana cream pie is entirely a different animal. The only similarity
is that they both have bananas as their main ingredient. Other than
that, they are as different as night and day.
