Biogradable self-initializing packaging, self fertilizing yellow wonders. How to describe the taste of a banana without using the word banana, that is the real question here.
We had a hurricane that wiped out the banana crop earlier in the year so the price went from $3/kg to $20/kg. Babies everywhere are heard to complain very vocally that their mashed banana is costing so much and has been extended with glue.
Bananas. Always choose the ones that come from the carribean, not from africa, they are all picked when still green, but because the african ones are flown to europe, they are force-ripened in warehouses and end up all floury, whereas the carribean ones come over by boat and ripen on the way. Bananas are great in muffins. Mixing them with carrots makes wonderful moist muffins. Also, Banoffee pies are the most holy of all pies and should be worshipped. The toffee can be replaced with Nutella for a change. Doors skirt is indeed ridiculously 60's... Chrisjordan should know that with bananas, size doesn't matter, only the taste is important. In fact, the tiny frayssinette bananas are the best I have ever tasted. Edit : and in the words of the great Marx* : Time flies like an arrow. Fruit flies like a banana. *Groucho, the philosopher, not that silly Karl guy.
Perhaps I'm the only oldie here who will remember this Kids show from the 80's :shock: BANANAMAN This is 29 Acacia Road. And this is Eric, the schoolboy who leads an exciting double-life. For when Eric eats a banana, an amazing transformation occurs. Eric is Bananaman, ever alert for the call to action. I used to love that cartoon!! In other news: I am having banana sandwiches for my lunch today
No way are you the only one, I'm sure a lot of people remember it. I not only watched the TV show, but read the comics about him in the Dandy There were also Bananas in Pyjamas (TV show), but they weren't even a quarter as good as Bananaman.
I loved that cartoon too ! In fact when I was still at school in England, my best friend and I wrote a whole episode of teenage mutant ninja bananas... it was soooo cool.
Bananas make people happy because they are yellow like sunshine, shaped like a smile and are said to raise serotonin levels in the brain if you eat them.
i can rember Bananaman and Bananas in pagamas and thats quite scary (im only 18 ) but when my mum was in hospitle a few years back she had to eat 2 bananas with choclet morning and night.

"Bananas in pyjamas are coming down the stairs, bananas in pyjamas are chasing teddy bears." I always thought that was kinda creepy.

[quote:ae5450ad73="edster"]Bloody hurricane! Now im never going to get bananas cake[/quote:ae5450ad73] I feel your pain...a girl in my office used to make bannana bread then she left...no more bannana bread

I put peanut butter on my bananas, that's the only way I will eat them.
I love peanut butter and banana sandwiches and I like dipping bananas in sunflowerseed kernels. It keeps me from getting as much hearburn. Jon had a banana split at the Minnesoda Fountain to celebrate our anniversary, I had a "Loon" sundae with coffee ice cream, hot fudge sauce, whipped cream and a cherry. It was great. My brother makes banana bread a lot. He does it to use up his black bananas, I used to do that but lately I just throw them away and try not to buy any more until I really want them again, but then I buy too many and don't eat them in time and then I contemplate making banana bread and then the bananas go from okay for bananabread to being toxic waste, and I throw them away and wait until I stop feeling guilty about them and then I buy too many and the cycle continues. At least I have stopped freezing smashed bananas in the hope that someday I will thaw them out and use them to make banana bread. Bananas with freezer burn are just yucky.
My primary school used to freeze half bananas which you could buy for 5c. That was well yummy. (They had frozen orange peices to which was nearly as good). Bananaman rocked! You can never be to obsessed with that show.
I would like a banana split right now. When I was a kid there was a icecream treat called Knickerbocker Glory. I remember it fondly. It did not include bananas though.
It's basically a Sundae with a really funkily old-fashioned name. Knew there would be a page about it somewhere
Ice-cream is yummy, bananas less so. They're just too sweet and goey. And no one likes yellow, right? That poor fruit (though I think it's a herb, really... or was that fish?) doesn't have a lot going for it, does it?
Well having come from a banana republic I am embarrassed to admit that I am still confused about how many bananas make a hand. I went off bananas despite their potassium, manganese and other good yellow skinned things the day I saw (I kid you not) a bacon, banana, and pineapple pizza. Eeeeeuuw *spine shuddder* inwig
