How Ripe Do You Like Your Banana

None of those Irish bananas for me!

I'm a 5,6,7.

I also prefer the smaller bananas that I grew up with as opposed to the giant varieties carried in most supermarkets.

When I was a kid I remember bargain bananas being sold at some of the local gas stations as sort of a tease/loss-leader.

My grandmother always used to buy two dollars worth of gas and a sack of bananas to keep us from starving until we got home.
 
I like them fresh, still in a monkeys hand. 😊

Banana no. 7 is ideal for mashing and adding to Banana Cake or Muffins
Remember during the Hippie Era peeps were drying Banana Peel?
The peel was crushed and then rolled in a cigarette paper like tobacco to give the smoker a high
'These days, it would've taken us a fraction of a second to confirm that the theory that
you can get high off of smoking banana peels is just a 50-year-old hippie hoax'

I actually tried smoking banana peels with friends. Hey, I was 17! I remember us putting the banana peels in the oven. We smoked in a water pipe, not a doobie. We weren't surprised it didn't work. I'm just wild about Saffron.
