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

[classic33]

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?

A day! I'd eat that in an evening.

As for skins split lengthways, temperature changes. Cooled down then warmed up, causing them to split.

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..

How exactly were the outbound holidaymakers disposed of ???

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

I thought the same, perhaps the ripening processes are different.

However, I'm finding a lot of kiwi fruit in France stays hard as cannonballs.

I could eat more than 8 a day, but I am aware of the calories, so try and restrict on bananas.

They probably all died in the doss-hole that the Dominican Republic is.

In 1993 we paid about £3000 for the two of us for a fortnight's holiday there - quite a chunk of money then.

Worst holiday we ever had. The hotel which was supposed to be top-notch was abysmal - Lovely Wife genuinely wanted to come home the day after we arrived. She thought it was like "Butlins in the Caribbean".

The beaches were a let down and if we went out snorkelling we were pestered (well I was) by pimps in boats with a couple of whores on board.

Food was crap. Towns were crap and you weren't supposed to walk anywhere but instead use taxis as the streets were unsafe at night time.

The sun was nice and sunny though and that was about it really.

Don't recollect seeing any bananas during the miserable two weeks we were there.

You wouldn't have done, they'd have been doing a "John Denver", as mentioned earlier.

Probably quicker than the boat.
