I just can't like 'em.

I really like the concept of Bananas. I really love the way they smell and feel. I never really liked the taste of them though. So I thought that since I don't smoke anymore, my taste buds would be different.

So I went to the Cafe to grab breakfast. Didn't want anything fattening or greasy. So I grabbed a milk and a banana.

I opened the banana and took a bite... and you know, I still don't like bananas. *sigh* I really want to like them though. I'm sad.

When you say "feel" I guess you don't mean the texture when you bite into them? But when you hold them or something?

What about ripe vs unripened bananas? I don't like unripened bananas at all.

They are best frozen and covered with chocolate!

They are best frozen and covered with chocolate!

They are also good cooked in pastry and covered with chocolate

I love bananas, but not cooked.

 

[nailz]

Only one thing comes to my mind, and I'm sure Rich and Greg will jump on this soon.

Bananabration.

I'll post the video soon and explain the story.

Did you know that bananas helped the Romans win the Battle of Carthage, provided sustenance to Moses while he parted the Red Sea, and in more recent times..... gave fodder to sassy black women at the front desk of the Residence Inn? ProgPower cannot exist without bananas.... (though their hammocks can be done without).

It's for this and a few other reasons that the ProgPower experience can't be done without the 4 of us being in the same room.

I can see it now

Moses: "NUGHHH.."
Jews: "Moses! Moses! Moses!"
Moses: "My water rings power is dwindiling. No longer am I capable of parting the swells of such a vast body."
Jews: "Quickly, bring forth the Bananas of rejuvinacne!"
Moses: *eats bananas*
Moses: "By your powers combined.. I AM CAPTAIN PLANET!"
Red Sea: "Oh fuck that dude's on a banana-rampage, I'm gettin' the FUCK outta da way!"

I can't eat bananas anymore. I used to eat them regularly, and was eating more when I started walking & running. They're great nutritionally and very portable, so I used to take them with me when I shot archery, went hiking, anything like that. However, their texture as I chew started bothering me and finally one day right before PP, I just couldn't do it anymore. I kept thinking "baby food" and it just sort of did me in.

So there's my banana saga for you. Glad to hear you're not smoking!!!!!

Bananas Rule! Unless they are too ripe can't stand when they get mushy...

 

[thedelicateflower]

...i love bananas!...they have to be bright yellow with no brown spots....they are good cold..but supposedly you shouldn't put them in the refrigerator.....

my favs though are the frozen chocolate covered ones (no nuts)...growing up in southern california, wherever i would go, disneyland, shopping, etc...i would get a frozen banana...i used to know where all the good ones were...disneyland has yummy ones...
...anyway......i remember walking around disneyland with my frozen banana and getting the weirdest looks....i wasn't doing anything nasty with it, just eating it........:Smug:

I don't really like bananas unless they are cooked. The exception, at least for me, is to drop a banana or two in the blender, add in some milk, some vanilla extract, and some sweetener and turning the whole mess into a banana shake which I actually really like.

When cooked I really enjoy bananas, and their cousins plantains, as an accompaniment to Latin American foods, especially Colombian, Puerto Rican, and Cuban fare.
