I wish that the Gros Michel variety of banana could be grown outside of select greenhouses. If you’ve ever had banana pudding, or artificial banana flavoring, you know what a Gros Michel tastes like. If you want to have a banana that tastes that good though, they are an average of $96 a bunch. Cavendish bananas may look nice, but they have no flavor. I personally don’t care for them or Misi Lukis.
Sometimes they put them on sale for $1 and then I find myself with a whole pineapple sitting around in my kitchen so yeah I think you’re spot on with that theory
It was a subscription from a company we already bought from, they sold fruits and veg that weren't pretty enough for supermarkets, but were great for cooking, baking, and in our case, brewing. Most of the times it'd be apples and citrus, but one box had a whole pineapple. I was the last one out that day and no one had taken it... So PINEAPPLE!
One time, as a warehouse manager, I wanted to get the overnight shift some fruit to snack on during the shift. We had like 100 people there. So I drove to a grocery store at like 11PM and bought pretty much all of their fruit. The cashier was extremely confused. Also, I drove a mini Cooper so it was absolutely packed floor to ceiling with apples, oranges, bananas, and some other stuff.
I didn’t want to carry it all in so I drove my car into the building at the start of the shift.
So my hundred or so employees show up to work then see me rolling into the building with a mini Cooper just bursting at the seams with fruit. It was a fun way to start the night for everyone.
