Banana Stand - Definition

A Banana Stand is a pedestal dish with a U-shaped bowl, used specifically for serving a bunch of bananas. These dishes came on a pedestal as well as without a pedestal, known as a "Flat Banana Dish". They were designed for 2 specific reasons. Bananas enhance the ripening of your other fruit so they should always be kept separate. Also, when you set your table, your Banana Stand is at one end and your fruit compote at the other to balance your table.
