Thing is a ripe mashed banana can be used as an egg substitute for recipes. Not that one clearly.
Ok, but ... sometimes one just has to acknowledge that a banana isn't an egg, you know?
Not really, cause nobody claimed it was.
"a banana isn't an egg"
"Not really..."
...
... bananas are eggs?
You misquoted:
It makes sense to not have to acknowledge that something isn't something else when it doesn't even matter, because nobody claimed it to be that thing in the first place.

I've never acknowledged that a banana isn't an egg to be honest. I've never even thought about that, like ever.
Ok, but... sometimes one just has to acknowledge that substitution is the expectation that one is another in part to a non-zero degree, you know?
Depends what the egg is being used for. As a binder? Absolutely! Works great in cakes. But you certainly are not making custard with it.
If I mash a banana enough it becomes a bit custardy.
Probably not when it's the main ingredient like in this case
Might as well just make a banana pie
I followed your advice and made a banana pie. But as I didn't have any bananas at hand I replaced them with eggs. The pie had an eggy consistency and didn't taste anything like banana.
Bad advice, 1/10, wouldn't do it again.
Instructions unclear; what do I do with this circuit board?
Did you just substitute raspberries for bananas that were supposed to be eggs?
Install retrorangepi of it's got the old h3 chip.
