So it’s the Japanese and Chinese who get to eat these tasty fuckers? Laughing at us, I bet they are, with our insipid Cavendish crap.

That’s perfect :ok_hand:
The first one tho, I’d have a go, but suspect it would be a little far gone for my tastes

1 - bad, leave it a while
2 - won’t taste great but i’ll put it up with it cos i’m hungry now and not waiting for it to sort itself out
3 - superb. peak banana
4 & 5 - very good banana
6 - oh shit, i better eat this now, it hasn’t got long left. bit sweet and probably a few bruises but fine.
7 - will attempt it but probably end up throwing half of it away after eating around the black bits. will also bring it to work in the bag as it can’t be trusted in my messenger bag out in the open

this is the only thing putting me off a bit

3 isn’t peak banana. That’s still underripe.

Weirdly, I used to have a banana allergy. Always quite liked them, but would get a really itchy mouth and lips whenever I ate one. Would periodically try one just to see what happened and would get that reaction again. Tried one again about a year ago and had no ill effects.

Always have one to kick off my shift whenever I’m at work these days (and an apple for the last hour).

Kind of the opposite for me, I used to get a mild itching/irritation on my tongue and throat so stopped eating them. The occasion I mentioned above was a few years later when I thought I’d try one to see if it was any better, clearly it was far worse!

only one way to settle this [other than fiiiiiiiight preferably with a load of squidgy fruit… which i would never buy]

  • veg > fruit
  • fruit > veg
  • veg = fruit

IMAGINE preferring veg to fruit. what a life.

#60

what a life without too much sugar [even if it’s the good kind of sugar], yes

#61

oh sure, but what is health without joy?

#62

my issue with fruit is that it isn’t sugary enough. when i eat an orange i want it to taste like a fruit pastille but it doesn’t, it tastes horrible and bitter and sour with a disgusting texture. at least broccoli promises nothing and delivers nothing.

There’s a particular variety my father-in-law gets in Queensland (@ma0sm Klaxon) that are shorter, flatter and have a more pronounced hexagonal shape in the skin.

Anyway, I don’t know what variety they are but I don’t really like them. Overy sweet but also a bit ‘stringy’ on the inside and they seem to get lots more of those stringy bits under the peel that you have to pull down before you can eat it.
