Banana cue, or bananacue, is a popular snack and street food in the Philippines, its name a portmanteau of banana and barbecue. It is made by deep frying saba bananas coated in caramelized brown sugar, then served on bamboo skewers for easy eating, though the bananas are not cooked directly on the skewer.
