Come on Ohio, I need you to vote.

I peel and eat from the stem end, never have any problem with stringy bits - but the real answer is I eat bananas with glee! I am no longer allergic to them, but had to avoid them for 10+ years, so now when I eat banana, I REALLy enjoy them!

I break the stem off and peel from there. I saw a documentary that said monkeys do it the other way 'round. It is supposed to be easier, but I just end up smooshing my nana.

Another related question is: how green/yellow/spotted do you eat your bananas!

I like to take a perry knife & cut the bottom of the banana off & then peel it. Then if I have time I will cut it into bite size pieces with the perry knife. The banana skin can really smell up the waste basket along with the house so I throw that out on the garden.

Bananas are gross lol so I don't do bananas

My roommate eats them from the bottom...weirdo.

I peel them from the top, then break off little chunks to eat because I don't like biting into things.

i am a huge banana eater, i love them, only one in the house that eats them, so all to myself, they are very good for you and high in potassium, i always cut the stem with a knife and then peel down, i also have it chopped up in my cereal in the mornings ,every morning for breakfast.

One bite at a time

...Actually, peel them from the stem end.

**Lady's Human** · 11-06-2012, 01:09 PM

Either one bite at a time, sliced in cereal, or sliced up in milk with a little sugar.

Regardless, peeled from the stem end, never had any issues.

Looks like the east coast precincts are checking in?

I lost the bet and payed it off last night..........

------------------

The bet started when I took a banana and 'opened' it up the way I usually do, from the bottom.

Doris sees this and comments about it.....These are the things we argue about......and I stated that it's not as uncommon as it looked.

So, I posted a poll here on PT and I was soundly trounced.

I was hoping you all would back me up!

Anyway, we went out for Mexican!

But I still eat my bananas the say way.
