LennyW Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 Bananas should never be kept in the fridge, they are sensitive to the cold and will turn brown quicker. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T_Dog Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 Ahhh, Blether and the simple banana have started quite a thread! Let's also take a moment to honor the Thai Fried Banana, always available on a road near you. Something that can be a tasty treat if cooked fresh or be something to throw at dogs if not. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bananas are great, but fried? why? its like pineapple on pizza. no thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrMuddle Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 Sorry if this is a bit vague ! I read somewhere years ago, that UNICEF or the WHO had done surveys, and it was found that children who had bananas for breakfast, and at lunch time concentrated better, and got higher exams results than children who didn't have bananas. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrMuddle Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 Forgot - bananas sliced, on wholemeal toast, an excellent way to start the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F1fanatic Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 I love bananas and banana roti's are wonderful - especially with ice-cream! Unfortunately, my brother warned me to look out for tiny, white worms at each end - nothing worse than seeing them after you've eaten the first bite... Its rather put me off .

loong Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 Does anyone know what the banana with big black seeds in are called ? I was given one and nearly broke my front teeth. I think that these are the original wild bananas. This thread has reminded me that I haven't had frozen banana custard for ages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjj Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 Did you know that a banana is actually a herb? I did my GCSE English oral exam on bananas, got an A too. I am suprised they don't have plantain in Thailand, I think fried plantain would be nice with some or the curries here rather than just sliced cucumber.

That looks amazing eh?.......where did you see that Travelmann?? This is called Musa 1000 fingers. You can get seeds from it and grow it in Thailand. This was in Singapore botanical gardens. I still keep my nanas in the fridge when green and done see them going brown faster at all? NOTE WHEN GREEN If you want the bananas to ripen quickly, store them at room temperature. Placing bananas in the refrigerator slows down the ripening process tremendously. According to Dole, refrigeration will turn the skin/peel brown faster but that the fruit will remain fresh longer than if stored at room temperature.

StreetCowboy Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 ...wouldn't be sold in UK supermarkets as they don't meet EU regulation sizes and appearance etc More fool the EU and UK I think you'll find that plantains that don't fall into the EU food category of bananas could be sold as plantains. You'd be grumpy if some cheeky monkey tied to fob you off with swedes when you wanted turnips, and similarly, some other plantain when you were after a banana. I'm a little surprised that ll you banana afficionados are not more specific regarding the specifc fruit that you like, since apparently there is such a variety. If I got one of the hard, starchy ones that they use to feed the elephants, when I wanted a big, soft sweet banana, I'd not be entirely happy.

theblether Posted July 13, 2012 Author Share Posted July 13, 2012 @Travelmann, I thought that refrigeration helped, but Lenny gave me into trouble, and being a big wuss as I am I just folded and apologized. @SC, I'm away to google plantain, it's a word I've heard but not looked into......that's me educated again on TV.

samsiam Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 Well....used the odd banana for illicit purposes...of course the meaning of illicit varies amongst all, so just being careful. My daughter will eat a hand of landyfingers in a day. I usually like the bigger ones, ripened naturally on the tree and my fav way to eat is on top of cereal, smothered in cream and splashed with honey.....oh and banana fritters and ice cream....and banana splits and icecream...banana pancakes.....banana milkshakes.....

phl Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 Only be careful when you try to pronunc banana in Thai. Its very simular to something else. I've tried it You mean you tried to eat "something else " or tried to pronounce it? Lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rsquared Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 We are down by the head with bananas and usually end up giving a lot away. But my favourite way to have them is in a smoothie........bananas, coconut ice-cream, milk and flaxseed oil......yummmmmm. Have not researched but I do recall from my previous life, that when we carried bananas in reefers from Brisbane to NZ, they had to be maintained at 12 degrees celsius........apparently this was the ideal temperature to cease the ripening process as well prevent them turning brown. There is a roadside shop in our village that makes banana chips.......not too bad, but I still prefer my smoothies. Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BKS22 Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 Got to have a fresh banana in my protein shake every morning. Aroi maak maak! Although they consist mostly of sugars, these sugars (glucose, fructose and sucrose) and fiber, makes them ideal for an immediate and slightly prolonged source of energy. Also help to promote bone health. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samsiam Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 A good banana can keep the wife satisfied. When we get a lot, we slice n dice...well slice only, thin and long and dry in the sun and refrigerated. They last forever and taste is outstanding....dry, yet still chewy, not hard dry...and extra sweet for some reason. We also used to get all the bees on them while in the sun....so bees bums all over them might have added a little kicker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
