Some of these suggestions have completely put me off eating one!

Leaving that to one side for the moment, they are indeed bananas!



Now I ask you, have you ever seen a suntanned banana before? I couldn't get a good representation of the colour, the best description I can give is metallic purple. Really! The skin is a kind of pinky, purply, coppery shade, but the flesh is perfectly normal banana colour and they taste like normal bananas.

If any of you UK people want to see them for yourselves, then get yourself into Morrisons this weekend.
