This thread is about bananas

There's this type of banana that you would hang them up until the skin turns BLACK, that's when it's sweetest and most ripestest, and then you eat it... ON NOM NOM NOM.

I buy more green ones than I can eat in a few days. Day 2's banana for breakfast - turning yellow. Day 3's banana: yellow.
Day 4's banana: yellow with some brown Day 5's banana: yellow with more brown - pick the least mushy one Day 6: time to make banana bread with the leftover bananas. Having made it so often, it only takes about 7-8 minutes from the time I decide to make it until it's in the oven.

My wife likes her bananas when they are still green. Like so green they crunch when you eat them. And you can smell the gross unripen'ness of them from across the room.

She thinks *I'm* the freak because I like them after they have ripened up and are softer with maybe just a bit of spotting starting on the peel.

So posters of OT I ask....

How do you like your nanners? Ripe. Raw. Some where in between?

Sliced in ice-cream, maybe. Or not at all...

Pretty much that's how all bananas work.

Trash? No way. They're ready for banana bread making!

that, and banana pudding--the greatest desert since mankind crawled out of the muck.

Not the bananas you'd buy at VONS, those you'd just throw them away when the skin turns even spotted black. I'm talking black, like... BLACK.

You aren't talking about plantains are you?

No, it's much smaller and is only available in the tropics, much like anything else exotic. Unlike the plantains, these are meant to be eaten as bananas would, but it's sweetest when the skin is blacken.

Solid yellow, but with no brown spots. They taste too strong when they get brown, but are better for cooking then(see bread above)

This.

Manzano Bananas?

You're supposed to eat them black, but they taste fine when they're all yellow. A little bit green and they're really starchy.

If that's it, I've seen them before, but never had them. Are they better than regular bananas?

As if you've taken a bite into a banana made of the sweet nectar of the Gods. :awe:
