Haha. The ratio on this. I boosted it because I thought it was funny to have beef with bananas (I was originally going to respond THEY ARE LITERALLY THE WORST THING EVER TO HAPPEN TO HUMANKIND). I personally don't mind them but I used to work with a woman who was physically terrified of them.

@TheBreadmonkey IKR! There's some strong feels about 🍌s

It's not the first time I've heard of someone terrified of Bananas 🤔

@andycarolan Only when you eat them too early or don't pan fry them with sugar when its too late.

andycarolan,
@andycarolan@social.lol avatar

@indiealexh Hmm, pan fried with sugar you say 🤔

@andycarolan I admit I do not eat them on their own, but they are excellent in many other things, including banana bread, peanut butter banana toast (and with bacon [sorry]), and smoothies. I don't hate them. I think the modern banana is a bland being for many reasons: we mostly see a variety that can handle travel + sitting in a store and they tend to not be the most flavorful coupled with having a pretty nauseating texture at times.

andycarolan,
@andycarolan@social.lol avatar

@anniegreens I don't mind them in banana bread form, or as part of a smoothie. But as a grab and go snack, I would rather chew a pine cone 😅

anniegreens,
@anniegreens@social.lol avatar

@andycarolan So, what I'm saying is, it is human's fault not the banana.

andycarolan,
@andycarolan@social.lol avatar

@anniegreens LMAO “[It's the] human's fault, not the banana"

I'm SOOOOOO going to put that on a tshirt! 🤣

@anniegreens I've opened it in a tab, hit reader mode (because they aren't getting my email address lol), and I will read it after dinner :)

Teriyaki Bowl tonight 😋

@anniegreens Interesting. I did know that the banana was derived from a herb, but not that they were actually a berry, not a fruit.

@andycarolan I agree! I’ve never had a banana and thought “that was incredible” - which is a phrase I can use to describe plenty of other fruits.

andycarolan,
@andycarolan@social.lol avatar

@rowan_johnson IKR!

Blueberries = awesome

Apples = so yummy and versatile.

Melons = OMG, so nice... where do I begin?

Bananas = Like gnawing on a stick or 10 seconds away from becoming liquid

rowan_johnson,
@rowan_johnson@mastodon.social avatar

@andycarolan for me it’s all about strawberries, mangoes and grapes. 👌

Pineapples and grapefruits rock too.

Bananas are really quite bland. Almost as bad as pears…

andycarolan,
@andycarolan@social.lol avatar

@rowan_johnson Oh yes! MANGOES rock! Strawberries are so yummy too.

I like um... fermented grapes lol

@simondh@social.lol avatar

@andycarolan

You don't like bananas and think apples are yummy. Something strange is going on with your taste buds.... :very_confused_dog:

andycarolan,
@andycarolan@social.lol avatar

@simondh Not just my tastebuds... I'm 100% strange through and through 🤪

@andycarolan 😅 To be fair, (apart from its nutritional values) I don’t think many eat it for the delectable taste.

andycarolan,
@andycarolan@social.lol avatar

@habibcham So why do we eat them? Novelty value? lolol

habibcham,
@habibcham@mastodon.social avatar

@andycarolan Just like I ask myself why do I eat Apples? Ahem….I find them overrated, (apart from nutritional values).

andycarolan,
@andycarolan@social.lol avatar

@habibcham I guess there is a large percentage of foods that we all eat for nutritional value rather than taste/enjoyment 🤔

I like the pie form of Apple 😅

habibcham,
@habibcham@mastodon.social avatar

@andycarolan Tonnes of food are like that. Hence why a lot of people can only eat them mixed/cooked with other ingredients rather than on their own.

But yeah, I see your overall point about bananas 😁. I eat them a lot (potassium), but I don’t generally go “mmm that was darn tasty I want 5 more”. 😅

andycarolan,
@andycarolan@social.lol avatar

@habibcham LMAO

quickly eats 5 bananas out of a brown paper bag in the supermarket parking lot

@andycarolan UNFOLLOWED!

(Just kidding, lol. But I do like bananas!)

andycarolan,
@andycarolan@social.lol avatar

@philomath ROFL - Do you have any suggestions on what might take the bananananannana taste away?

shudders

I think I must have missed the 12 minute window in which it was edible lol

philomath,
@philomath@social.lol avatar

@andycarolan I don't have any suggestions, unfortunately. Sometimes, mixing the banana with other things can help (like a peanut butter and banana sandwich).

andycarolan,
@andycarolan@social.lol avatar

@philomath PB+B sandwiches are great! Still prefer PB+J though lol.

philomath,
@philomath@social.lol avatar

@andycarolan Same, tbh 😆

andycarolan,
@andycarolan@social.lol avatar

@philomath Dammit, I've just had a teriyaki bowl for dinner, and I now fancy a PB&J too lol.

If anyone needs me, I will be in the kitchen! 😅
