While we usually visit Blue Ribbon Corn Dogs at Disney’s BoardWalk Inn for its titular snack, a new addition to the menu is a Deep Fried Banana.
Deep Fried Banana – $10
Banana fried in corn meal batter, drizzled with Nutella, and topped with powdered sugar

This new treat is found at Blue Ribbon Corn Dogs. the outdoor kiosk close to the railing.

The Deep Fried Banana has already been added to the regular menu posted on the exterior of the kiosk.

This is essentially a single banana, split into halves to make a total of two snacks served as a pair. As described on the menu, ours was drizzled with some Nutella and topped with a light dusting of powdered sugar.

First, the texture of the banana is really great if you like a soft, gooey banana flavor. Ours was entirely melted on the inside, and the cornmeal did a good job of holding the liquid in place. However, it does want to spin around some on the stick, since the only solid component is the dried cornmeal exterior.

The Nutella works well with the banana flavor, though we didn’t taste much of the powdered sugar. The Nutella started melting over the top due to the summer heat, which made it easy to get some with every bite, but also made the snack very messy to eat. Definitely ask for no Nutella or get it on the side if you aren’t a fan, because it is impossible to avoid.

Overall, we really liked this snack and think it adds some much needed diversity to the otherwise limited menu at Blue Ribbon Corn Dogs. The fact that the single banana is split onto two sticks also makes this easily sharable for the $10 price.
Our only major complaint regarding this snack is that it feels a little heavy in the summer heat. These were made fresh when we ordered them, so both the banana and the outer cornmeal were extremely hot when coming right out of the fryer. This would be perfect later in the night when it is a little cooler outside, but it isn’t the best to eat in the middle of the day if you don’t want to feel heavy and sweaty afterward.
