Some folks on Reddit suggested rhubarb.  Though, if I were to substitute w/ rhubarb, I'd just go straight to rhubarb crumble w/ custard.  There's a nice place on the East Side ((Jones Wood Foundry) that has a truly tasty banoffee pie.

I love rhubarb but I suspect it would be way too watery to make it a decent substitute for banana in a banoffee pie.

Now if only I could find "forced" rhubarb here, rather than the months' old, massive, stringy abomination that's offered in the store.  Some days I miss my dad and the wonders he produced in the garden more than others.

You're probably right about the texture.  My sister had a coworker who would bring in rhubarb from his garden every summer.  This was in Connecticut.  She was his only taker & she'd make this lovely compote with it.  Served with custard, of course.  Birds Custard.  Rhubarb to me is synonymous with Wednesdays: it was pudding for Wednesday dinners in my Secondary School.
