Bananas

when they are just the right ripeness they are simply heavenly. Better than any other snack, including those lovely fattening chocolate/cookie/Little Debbie/whatevers.
When they've still got green on them they suck. When they've bruised too much they suck and are mushy on top of it.
There's like a 2 day window where the six bananas you bought are actually tasty and I don't want 6 bananas in 2 days. I want 6 bananas in 6 days.
This is a rant and a rave. Or rather a rave then a rant.

The green one's think you're dumb and stupid.
I like them with a little green, but apparently nutritionally they're not as good as much riper. Guy here at work leaves them on his desk until they're practically black before he'll even touch 'em.

If you only knew what it took just to get those banana's on your store shelf you would appreceate them even more.....
Did you know tha Banana is a member of the orchid family, and that each banana "tree" only produces 1 bunch (aprox 100 lbs) of fruit? The mother plant produces the fruit, and then shoots up a daughter plant, the mother planty is then cut away, and the daughter plant gows a bunch and produces another daughter plant? Each cycle takes about 9 months. The banana is truely an amazing fruit.....

Overripe bananas are great in pancakes. Just mush them up with the batter, and maybe toss in some blueberries. Yum.

Wait, you don't like bananas? That doesn't make sense.

Hate bananas more than any other food, except maybe coconut.
