How do you like your banana?

[Toby's my baby]

Yellow with a little green!

I love bananas, they are my favorite fruit, I had one today for breakfast, and also had one with some peanut butter when I got home today! ... off to go have another thanks to this wonderful thread that now has me craving them!

Back before I was allergic to bananas, I preferred them yellow, with not too many freckles. All yellow, before freckles form is perfect, but once too many freckles appear, it was banana bread time!

We used to give the totally brown ones to my brother, and he made the most exquisite banana bread out of them!

This is so funny. Richard and I have become banana freaks lately and we are constantly buying them in different states of ripeness so we are both happy. I like yellow with a little green/a few freckles at most. Richard likes them good and ripe - what I call 'dead ripe'. I can't eat them that ripe or I will gag and barf. I think it is because my mom used to slip my medicine into bananas when I was little and I associate the really ripe taste to medicine and being sick. She ruined banana popcicles for me too.

With peanut butter!

That is how I like bananas. A peanut butter and sliced banana sandwich is heaven!

I JUST finished mine! So I reached in the garbage and cheked out the skin.
Actually... today's banana was a little more flecked than I normaly like them, but I knew I had to have something for breakfast!!

I voted yellow with a little flecks of brown.

I'm going to be singing the Singing the Chiquita Banana song all day now!!

I'm Chiquita banana and I've come to say - Bananas have to ripen in a certain way- When they are fleck'd with brown and have a golden hue - Bananas taste the best and are best for you - You can put them in a salad - You can put them in a pie-aye - Any way you want to eat them - It's impossible to beat them - But, bananas like the climate of the very, very tropical equator - So you should never put bananas in the refrigerator."

You know I just love bananas but dont ever buy them.. But now here is a picture of the bananas I would like.. Note the pretty babies with them..

I love bananas, but they must be all yellow, or yellow with a hint of green.

We had the most delicious banana drink at the hotel in Dominican Republic in the mornings, just wish I had that recipe! Even John liked it, and he hated bananas.

Yellow with a tad of green. =]
Any brown specks on them and you won't see me reaching for it!

I voted "I don't like bananas" but I actually do- just not plain. I like banana bread, dried banana chips, and so on, but I cannot stand the texture of bananas plain. Too mushy...I've never been able to eat them like that. Even as a baby, my mom said I spit them out.

Yellow with a hint of green. ANY mushy bits and I gag on them. Go figure.

They aren't ripe enough to eat till you see a few freckles! I like them in between the time they start to freckle and till they are freckly all over. Once they turn brown, it's banana bread time. I really really really hate them when they are too firm and have any green. Even all yellow is still to "unripe" for me!
