I once ordered some bananas from a grocery (online order, in-person pickup), and the store wanted to substitute corn. On the one hand, both are yellow and edible, with an outer husk that must be removed. On the other hand, they are otherwise nothing alike.

They’re both also staple starches in central American cuisine
“ah yes, substitute with another North American common yellow starch…”

I wonder if native Americans saw maize and were like “I bet we can turn that into a banana”.
