Bananas ......... anyone else find there are so many that look fine but are bad inside ?

[classic33]

Chile sided with Britain in the Falklands conflict,if i remember rightly.

So why aren't they sending us as many bananas?

General Pinochet's been dead 10 years. Perhaps Chile doesn't side with Britain anymore.

By the time you have peeled it and thrown the bone away, there's nothing left !!

Simple, don't peel them.

Why are bananas in France much tastier than the ones in the UK ?

We used to import most of ours from Chile, no longer the case though. Is this down to this time in '82?

I holidayed in the Dominican Republic once (2008?), and the bulk of the Boeing 757's hold space was taken up with large containers full of bananas on the return journey..

No, their other main export was Rum...

I guess that explains Durianrider's attitude: he's clearly eaten too many of the "look fine on the outside, very bad inside" bananas.

I had a perfectly fine banana while out on my ride this afternoon.

Bananas and custard - now you're talking

 

[DaveReading]

Banoffee pie.

Likewise. UK stuff that's in season tastes so much better. Soft fruit i.e. strawberries and raspberries is the classic case in point. It's rare that the imported stuff bought in the depths of winter is any good.

Mind, since I buy most of my fruit on YS, if it's manky then it's not big loss. If I'd paid the full whack, I'd be rather more peeved. Though general rule of thumb is that even on YS, most things still need at least a week in a warm room before it's fully ripe. Have had plums that could still be sold to the military for ammunition after a fortnight...

What is YS.

 

[pclay]

I can eat upto 8 bananas a day if I am not careful. Not had bad ones inside though, but often find them with their skins split lengthways- what's that all about?

YS = yellow sticker. Also known as reduced for quick sale.
