Let’s discover a traditional British recipe!
The word « banoffee » is a portemanteau word. It means that it was made by mixing two existing words. Can you guess them?
Let me give you some clues: the first word is the name of a yellow fruit. You can see it on this picture. The second word is a special type of caramel, made of sugar, butter, and sometimes flour.
Got it?
Yes! In « banoffee », « ban » is a short version of banana and « offee » stands for toffee!
Banana and toffee… Doesn’t this sound delicious?
