William Shakespeare likely did not know what bananas were, as they were not commonly known in Europe during his lifetime in the late 16th and early 17th centuries. Bananas are native to Southeast Asia and were not introduced to Europe until later. The first recorded mention of bananas in English dates from the 16th century, but they were still relatively rare and exotic at the time. Therefore, it is improbable that Shakespeare encountered or was familiar with bananas.
