As the notes are already pointing-out this is a pretty normal way of serving spiced rice in both the Caribbean and parts of south Asia, and probably everywhere that has both bananas and rice as staple foods and hot weather that needs countering with chilis. But for heavens sake mash them in why are they just sitting on top like a breakfast cereal ad?

STOP

#I am sorry but cuisine is syncretic and there's shit-all you can do about it #you know rice isn't native to Mexico right?#Or anywhere in the entire western hemisphere?#this is the problem with applying indignation about cultural appropriation to food #you can't #it doesn't fucking work #like every time Italians bitch about how other places do pizza #as though if I hopped in a time machine and went back 600 years I'd find tomatoes in Italy #Or a place with an identity called 'Italy' for that matter but that's a different problem #anyway put all the fucking bananas in Mexican rice you want
