What does Platano mean in each country?

Platano

A staple food many Dominicans are raised on. Growing up eating cereal is not the same as choking down a couple of platano. It is said they provide the vitamins for all the home runs Dominicans hit in the Major Leagues (Platano is a starchy banana variety that is boiled or fried and is a symbol of Dominican identity and physical power).

A: What is there to eat today? B: I do not know why you are even asking, the same as every day, platano with salami.

Platano

A synonym for banana. It is the exact same fruit, the name simply changes depending on the country. (In Chile, this refers to the common sweet banana eaten raw, unlike in some Caribbean or Central American regions where the word refers specifically to a cooking plantain).

Mom, I want a plátano for dessert.
