Re: Poll: Bananas
Went with all yellow, but gun to my head, I'm choosing green rather than brown.
Until everything is less insane, I'm mixing weed with wine.
Re: Poll: Bananas
If eating in hand, I prefer yellow with a little bit of brown.
If I'm cooking with bananas, all brown is the way to go.

Birds don’t suck. They lack the necessary anatomical structures to do so.
Re: Poll: Bananas
I agree with Sabo. My wife and daughter won't touch them once a little spot appears, so at that point they become all mine.
For banana bread, the riper the better.

Re: Poll: Bananas
Yellow with a little brown, but as Sabo pointed out: you should be cooking with a brown banana.

Re: Poll: Bananas
There's about a ten-minute window in a banana's ripening process where it is the perfect food.
Before that, it's like eating bark. After that, it's just disgusting.

Re: Poll: Bananas
Gotta have a little brown or else it's like eating plastic.

Re: Poll: Bananas
Can deal with a little bit of green. All yellow is best, obvs. Once any brown appears, something in my head makes me think "this banana is rotten and shitty now".

Re: Poll: Bananas
That's what I hear from my wife and daughter. I understand how the darker color and softer texture might put you off, if you are kind of delicate and sensitive. But, if it's just a couple dark spots, the taste is sweeter and better.

Not the same type of tree. The very same tree. The Cavendish, which has no seeds, is propagated by grafting or cloning. Which means that they're all identical. If you're a mass marketer, pushing everyone to expect and like the very same thing, a thing with no variation and little surprise, this is good news indeed.

and the bananas your grandparents (or parents) ate as kids were a totally different type of banana, the Cavendish is super susceptible to being whipped out by blight as the Gros Michel was in the 50s.
Also, the artificial banana flavor that is in things tastes different because it's based on the flavor of the Gros Michel.
Did you see that ludicrous display last night?

But come to think of it, they are completely different.
On a similar note - the same is true of strawberries. The real thing tastes very little like the strawberry flavouring that is found in so many products.

Re: Poll: Bananas
Will you separate a bunch of bananas at the supermarket to get the exact number you want?
I do. Did it last evening in fact. Usually when I want 4 or 5 and the bunches are all 8 or something. If I just want a couple and know they'll be eaten soon I have no problem grabbing from the pile of touched-over solo bananas.

Re: Poll: Bananas
Yeah I will do it but never just leave one. That’s just tacky.
You know what you need? A lyrical sucker punch to the face.
Re: Poll: Bananas
Probably shouldn't even touch it.
Re: Poll: Bananas
I agree with all of today’s posts here.
