Banana-Armor? That's the best thing I've heard all day I wasn't expecting it to look like the one on Firebox though. Someone make it outta kevlar... or something
When I'm on the go, I compare the bruise to a colour chart which I carry in my lunch box (to make sure that ambient light does not distort the results, I also carry a neutral white light CCFL torch and a light meter). At home I use my Pantone colour calibration device (Datacolor Spyder3 Elite) hooked to a laptop with biometric data on a large variety of bananas and plantanes in various stages of decomposition, cross-referenced to the Food Standards Agency, the Kew gardens Centre for Tropical Plant Diseases (can't be too careful) and 52 European Forensic labs (Decay of Foods at the Crime Scene as a Time-Stamp Determinator (2003) Eulert, Bradshaw et al.). I also have a gas chromatograph to sample the limonene, ethanol/methanol, acetaldehyde, methyl- and ethyl acetate that are released during the decay process. Via a stocastical-heuristic algorythm the laptop then gives me a "yay" or "nay" on whether I can go ahead and eat the bruise. I dunno, some people think I'm a bit obsessive...
I would ask a colleague for some friendly advice Nexxo. One concerned forumite to another. P.S Is it possible for a woman to eat a banana and for the act NOT to appear erotic?
Yes, if the woman in question happens to be your mum... And everyone knows that the best thing to stop a banana from getting bruised is a Banana Hammock
Amazing how many pages there are on whether to eat a bruised banana. If squishy bruise, no. If just discolored, yes. But squishy is ok if you are planning to make banana bread. And Nexxo, by the time you finish your analysis of the elongated potassium filled fruit stick, you may just have a rotten banana.
I prefer my bananas to be green (unripe), but it there's one there and it's bruised, I'll eat it anyway.
I prefer my bananas slightly green as well. As for banana bruises... they're only okay for eating if mashed into oblivion and baked into a wonderful banana bread. And, um... not going into my banana-eating technique at this time.
If I ate bananas I'd not eat the bruised bits. But then, I don't eat bananas any more because when I was very young my Grandma used to give me them to eat when they were 'ripe'. Her idea of ripe was that they should be completely black and liquid inside. Even the smell of bananas makes me want to vomit now, and it's 100% psychological.
YES!!!! Nexxo i applaud thee I just eat them, nothing wrong with a bruise. and the over ripened ones get turned into banana nut pancakes.
When my bananas get bruised enough to cause the insides to get mushy, I mash them and bake banana bread. -monkey
I cant eat banana's. Too traumatic... They remind me too much of my friends room smelling suspiciously strongly of banana and poop. And for those who haven't caught on yet, I swear that wasn't transit induced bruises on the banana in the bin... *shudder*
i dont see the bruises. leave the skin on jam it down your throat. lol i only eat them in muffins or bread, plus its just weeeeeeeeeeird. ^^^^^^^^ i hope they werent eaten.
No problems with a bit of bruise but if it drops on the floor i drop it in the bin. Nexxo: You Sir have problems
