EN: a type of coarse banana
The 'pangit' cousin in the banana family. While 'saba' is the star for banana cue and 'lakatan' is the go-to for a quick snack, tibalbal is that big, awkward-looking one that's not very sweet. It's the banana you cook, not the one you eat raw, unless you enjoy a bit of a challenge. It's got character, but it's definitely not winning any beauty contests.
This word is not widely known and may be regional. It can also be used as an adjective to mean bulky or coarse.
