This recipe is not suitable for children. The rum sauce is too strong.

I'm not sure why this recipe is called 'flaming bananas'. There was no fire involved.

This recipe is a waste of time. The bananas didn't taste good at all.

I tried this recipe, but the bananas didn't caramelize properly. I'm not sure what I did wrong.
