Arroz, Habichuela, Carne is the typical bandera plate in DR, most add Bananas to it; why?
More starch. They eat a lot of starch which gives them their big butts.

It isn't SO important. Some people just pick a banana to have as a dessert AFTER lunch.Why is Guineo so important to have with lunch meal, la bandera?

a sweet starch to go with all else. If maduros are not available then go with the banana. Not to take you off topic but there is a similar thing with Dominicans who will eat avocado every day. Of course there has to be some sort of rice also. Many Dominicans will feel empty if they can't have a piece of avocado with their meal.
what's your thought on this?
This is not only a Dominican phenomenon, it is done by Puerto Ricans as well.
I suppose it's the combination of sweet and salty and perhaps bananas are an acceptable substitute in the absence of sweet plantains...and yeah, because it tastes delicious as someone else stated.
I see it all the time in my family. I would rather eat grass than a boiled banana.
Rice, beans, avocado, salad and chicken are the only must haves in my MIL's kitchen. Guineos Verde or Plantains are actually not eaten very often but judging by how many are sold on the street and at the colmadoes most Dominicans eat a lot of plantains. My inlaws dont eat salami either. My MIL cooks up Papas or yuca for us for supper to eat with avocadoes and a bit of moro and leftover chicken from lunch. Not every Dominican family eats the same.
