Peeling Bananas

There's just something creepy about those people who peel the whole skin off the banana, remove the fleshy edible bit with their fingers, and throw the skin away BEFORE they start eating.

You know who you are. I don't like you. Stop it immediately. Seriously. It really is just icky.

There is only one civilised way to eat a banana, which is to half peel the skin so that you have something that's not soft, wet and squishy to hold on to. The more you eat, the further you peel.

Actually, there is another way to eat a banana...

...with a fork or spoon, but before you can do that, you have to peel it, place it in a bowl, smother it with cream, ice cream, chocolate sauce, nuts, hundreds & thousands, and, if you're really adventurous, a dash of cinnamon.

OR you cut a slit down the length of it, stuff it with chocolate bits and pop it on the BBQ for a bit. No need for foil, the peel does that.

ooooo. the barbied narna, nice. i know someone who freezes them and then eats them like a banana icecream weeks later. too icky for me, but quite a popular choice apparently.

me? chop it up, pop the narna b/twn 2 slices of fresh white bread with butter, place said narna on it, sprinkle lightly with sugar & eat. yum. banana sandwiches.

Ooooeeeew. I have always felt that way too. The banana is proof that there is intelligence in the universe. The complete meal and all necessary utensils rolled into one lovely package.
