Lots of tomatoes and about 30 hands of bananas in the fridge.

Seems worth having a go, afterall tomato is a fruit, perhaps sieve out the seed & skin. Not sure if that would go down.

Not sure why people think that tomatoes and banana don't go well together. I used to make a banana, bacon and fresh tomato omelette. It is delicious. Admittedly the tomato component isn't cooked in the omelette and the bacon is pre-cooked first and then sliced.
They are both fruit and I doubt that the length of time a fritter would take to cook would alter the raw taste and texture of the tomato to any great degree.

No one said they don't go together per se. It's the whole fritter thing I cannot get my head around; esp if the tomatoes are red as opposed to green. What you are talking about as having cooked is totally different.
But feel free to share a recipe you think would work. I cannot find one anywhere I have looked.

The combination sounds like indigestion. haha

Don't need bananas and tomatoes for a fritter to be indigestion material. Just flour, baking powder and milk/water/soda water and egg mixed and then fried in some cheap and nasty oil is sufficient to bring on indigestion.

Actually, I’m inclined to think it would be stomach cramps and diarrhoea. My Mum taught me to never eat bananas and tomatoes on the same day because it will give you

Thank you for your commiserations but truly they are unnecessary. Fritters are not my food of choice because life is too short and there are so many other glorious foods I still have to experience.

And you never tried it out? Gee anything my mother told me turned out to be wrong! The most famous one being: "each drop of vinegar eats 10 drops of blood" - so we couldn't have a nice salad dressing when I was a kid, but I had to endure lemon juice on lettuce . :(
I wish I’d taken more notice of her advice now to be honest!

How odd, some of that generation had some weird ideas, and weird sayings
