Did you know?
- In France, a banane is also a common term for a fanny pack or waist bag. This comes from the bag's curved shape, which resembles the fruit.
- In French, the word bananes is often used in the slang expression avoir la banane, which means to have a big, wide smile on one's face.
- While bananes refers to the dessert fruit, French uses the word plantain for the starchy variety used in cooking. In many French-speaking Caribbean territories, these are treated as a vegetable rather than a fruit.
