What does a plantain taste like?

It tastes like greens except richer.

It tastes exactly like a banana.

I never tried one but it would not surprise me if it tasted like chicken.

DELICIOUS!!! It tastes very similar to a banana but the texture is a bit tougher. They are so delicious baked or fried.

i don't knowhow to explain it, nor do i know what they taste like raw but if u smash them down (while green still) and fry them, take em out for a min and fry the again they are fantastic!!!! My fiance's mom is costa rican and she showed me how to do it...granted i eat mine w/ ketchup i don't think ur supposed to. they are very good w/ a mango sauce dip. i guess like fried banana consistency but they don't taste like banana more like ...i dunno..it's got its own taste..but its good

Underconstruction is spot on. Allow me if I may, just to be sure that he was understood, to add that plantains green, or black-ripe (the darker, the sweeter), must be cooked to become palatable, unlike conventional bananas which are usually eaten raw but may be cooked.

I agree that the flavor is difficult to describe but the green ones seem to me to have a flavor similar to what a cross between a banana and a potato chip may taste like. To try and describe sweet or ripe plantain is, in my view, even more difficult. Imagine trying to describe the taste of a ripe mango.
