:banana:
What's your take? Do you have some childhood traumas about bananas and condoms?
I say I quite like bananas, haven't had one in years but they are quite good...but what I don't like is banana flavour...banana flavoured candys are horrible...same goes with banana flavoured yoghurt...
-
Yes from me. A banana and a coffee are a good way to start the day when in a hurry.
You do have to catch them at the right time though. And under or over ripe banana is no good.
Also how can you not love banana smoothies, banana splits and banana fritters?
-
I like bananas, I even like them if there is a hint of green left in them (just a hint mind). The current supply in the house are just on the turn to becoming over ripe, I might try one later but it might be the last until the next bunch is bought!
Like Charger I'm not a fan of banana flavoured things, I could eat a banana yoghurt but I would leave it if there was another flavour in there fridge. And actual banana in a desert is nice... even the banofee pie.
I thought the foodstuff of choice for demonstrating how to use a condom was the cucumber!?

Bananas is one of those albums where I feel Deep Purple went off-script. There are some solid tracks from it, but the- oh, wait, the food, not the album.
I eat a banana every day. I prefer them straight, not mushed or mixed with other things. Then I have problems with the bananas. I don't like bananas in ice cream treats, smoothies, yogurts... but I LOVE them cooked Caribbean-style or in fish dishes!

I have a banana after my breakfast cereal everyday. Not my favorite fruit, but it is good for you. I never eat a banana any other time, nor anything banana flavored.
-
You guys really need to try banana fritters. For forever and a day they’ve been on dessert menus at Chinese restaurants over here. Have with vanilla ice cream and caramel sauce drizzled over the top and your mouth will have an orgasm.
-
^ Agree. Fried bananas are heaven.
-
Bananas or OK. I will eat them in the morning if we happen to have any in the house.
Rachael Hogg's "banana management is poor." lol

Indeed. Mr. May is an authority on the topic.

Never had fried bananas...honestly doesn't sound too appealing to me...
It's funny how the healthiness of the banana changes every now and then. It was considered very healthy a while ago and nowadays it's considered more unhealthy than healthy because of all the bad sugar it contains.
I believe I will be buying some bananas again...I don't eat breakfast (as I work nights I wake up around 1pm) but I could have one for a mid day snack or after workout...

Bananas are good for you: https://foodandnutrition.org/blogs/student-scoop/bananas-bad-3-myths-debunked/
For people fixating on grams of sugar, apples and grapes have more in them and none of them are as bad as candy, which is all added sugar without fiber to help slow absorption in the blood stream.

^^^^^^
Agreed. :yes:
-
Well a lot of exercise professionals are against bananas again because of the heavy bad carb load.
But I personally don't know...nor care much for that matter..
But it does seem like that's the one thing that Bananas and eggs have in common. One year they're healthy the other they're not! :D

We have a place over here called the Big Banana. It’s a tourist attraction in Coffs Harbour(banana growing country) NSW about 3 hours south of Queensland. It has massive banana plantation where you pick your own bananas as well as a big restaurant/cafe that only has banana related food on the menu as well a souvenir shop.
Whenever you drove to Queensland from Victoria or NSW it was alway the place to stop off on the way. These days it’s turned more into a theme park with water slides and the like.
The chocolate coated bananas were what most is etched most in the memory going there as kid as well as the big banana that greeted out the front.
