Banned
After purchasing fresh bananas from the grocery store, I leave mine out for a few days (3-4) until the little black dots start appearing on the skin indicating that it is ripe and sweet and ready for consumption. I never refridgerate them as they turn bruised and nasty by the time I want to eat it. They are IMHO, best, when the black dots make about a 30% coverage of the yellow skin. Of course by then, it may start to attract fruit flies but damn it rocks.
