Thing is a ripe mashed banana can be used as an egg substitute for recipes. Not that one clearly.

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.

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..."

You misquoted:

...one just has to acknowledge...

Not really

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?

Probably not when it's the main ingredient like in this case

Might as well just make a banana pie

Did you just substitute raspberries for bananas that were supposed to be eggs?

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.
