Directions:

This dish cannot be prepared in the kitchen. It must be performed, in front of your guests. Peel a thin strip of peel from the bananas, and use your knife to slice the banana crossways into coins. Melt the butter and add the brown sugar to form a creamy paste. Let this mixture caramelize over the heat for about 5 minutes. Stir in the banana liqueur. Heat until the liquor is warmed, about three minutes. Add the bananas, add the rum (preferably warmed), then ignite with a flourish and cook for about 1 - 2 minutes. Here's the showiest way to do this: Using a long, bent-handled ladle, scoop up some of the warm liquor. Hold it a foot or two above the chafing dish and ignite the liquor in the ladle. VERY CAREFULLY, pour the liquor into the dish. A column of flame will descend from the ladle into the dish, which will ignite with a marvelous *poof*! Keep a pal nearby, subtly wielding a fire extinguisher. Agitate to keep the flame burning, and add a few pinches of cinnamon to the flame. The cinnamon will sparkle orange in the blue flame, and looks really neat. Let the flames go out. Serve over ice cream.
