Because banana's turn from green to yello as they ripen. This in many South African tribal dialects is called the "ban-yah". The word was brought back by Spanish explorers to mainland Europe and then modified to fit the English tongue.

Which walk-in store has some of the more obscure ingrediants not often found at Stop & Shop? Produce, spices, meats, etc. Needs to be within 45 mins of me.

No clue as I only come down your way to go the the TJMaxx up the road

Are you looking for anything specific? I've found when I buy wierd food items they tend to sit on the shelf until they expire.

That being said, most gourmet shops don't sell anything really that crazy. If you want obscure find a good Asian grocer.
