Melt an ounce (three tablespoons) brown sugar and a tablespoon of butter in a thick shallow pan...add two bananas, sliced lengthwise...saute until tender...sprinkle with cinnamon...pour an ounce and 1/2 of rum over it all and Flame it! Baste with the warm liquid until the flame burns out...this makes two servings over a good vanilla ice cream...
POEM FOR BANANAS FOSTER
In the Court of the Three Sisters
Sultry Morning
Magnolias beginning to brown in the heat
Edges curling over the white
Bananas Foster in flames
Ice Cream melting in very white bowls
Kisses on the damp neck of desire
Crepes Suzette thick black cafe
Brown and White Brown and White
One blossom behind a shell of ear
Flames die down
Taste the syrups of this touch
One finger on the pulses
Of so strong sweet and fire
