the dessert that committed to bananas and toffee, then bragged about it in its own name.
means A pie made from bananas, toffee (boiled condensed milk), cream, and a biscuit base.
from A blend of "banana" and "toffee," coined in England in the 1970s when the dessert was invented at a restaurant in East Sussex called The Hungry Monk — the cooks fused the two ingredients in both the recipe and the name. "Toffee" itself is an early-19th-century English variant of "taffy," of uncertain origin; "banana" came into English via Spanish and Portuguese, likely from a West African language.
