Wainy316 Posted March 1, 2022 Share Posted March 1, 2022 I find bananas very meh but still try to eat one a day regardless. Not usually into banana flavoured stuff apart from Banana choco flakes Muller crunch corner, which I’ve just had in fact. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sne Posted March 1, 2022 Share Posted March 1, 2022 Bananas just like pears have about a 15 min window where they are edible. Outside of that they are either unripe and tasteless or over ripe, soft, mushy and or grainy. I pretty much only eat bananas in milkshakes or smoothies. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maqroll Posted March 2, 2022 Author Share Posted March 2, 2022 (edited) I've discovered Fuji apples and that's my go to fruit lately. Juicy, crisp, sweet and fragrant. And they keep in the fridge for weeks. Edited March 2, 2022 by maqroll Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree completely with your first sentence, but I don't like bananas or the banana flavor in any other foods. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fun fact, most banana flavouring tastes nothing like an actual banana because banana flavouring is based on a type of banana that went out of style (the gros michel banana) which you never get anymore in comparison with the new and more favoured Cavendish banana Edited March 2, 2022 by Eidolon 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes From my wife's Winnie the Pooh Cook Book. Peel and slice banana in half (cross sectionally) Stick lollypop sticks in the cut ends, wrap in foil and freeze. When frozen, remove foil, dip in molten dark chocolate, replace foil, and put back in freezer. On a hot summer's day remove from freezer, remove foil and eat. (not the stick or foil, for the passing Blues fan). If this is still disappointing, seek medical help. The Beatles and their albums are fine, but there are certain shades of colour I am not keen on.
