when is a banana perfectly ready to eat?

[treebird]

hot topic within my crew of late, everyone vote truthfully

[Sammy Sofa]

On it's own? Yellow with a few brown spots. In cereal? The same, or with a fee more brown spots. Using in a smoothie or making something like banana bread or pancakes? Mostly brown and a super mushy banana.

Any green whatsoever is unacceptable. Ugh.

[David]

yellow with a few small brown spots

[Andy]

As soon as it's reasonably soft

[MWV]

I prefer the starchy, astringent character of a half-green banana. I realize this makes me an irredeemable monster.

[Geech]

It should have a decent number of brown spots. That's the right zone.

[Cubswin11]

The only time it's okay to eat a banana with any green on it is if you are stuck on a deserted island and it's your only food source

[treebird]

before yesterday, i had no idea anyone thought it was good to eat bananas without brown spots. this is so weird to me.

[Derwood]

I can't say I put that much thought into it

[Sammy Sofa]

Derwood is just cramming food into his mouth.

[Ding Dong Johnson]

NO BROWN!

[jersey cubs fan]

bananas are awesome as soon as the green is almost all gone all the way to the point when there's a few brown spots.


Banana bread is also awesome but anything banana flavored sucks balls.

[SouthSideRyan]

Banana Runts and Laffy Taffys should be shot into the sun

[Ding Dong Johnson]

Y'all are crazy. Banana Laffy Taffy is the best.

[Banedon]

NO BROWN!

I'm with Bob, brown means it's good for banana bread, and that's about it.

Yellow with some green plz.

[Banedon]

Oh, and banana laffy taffy's and banana runts are awesome. Had a friend that hates banana laffy taffy's give me a whole bag of them that him and his gf wouldn't eat. It was the best day.

I throw them in the garbage, and would do it in front of you.

[David]

i can take or leave banana flavored candy

Agreed. For me it's totally a texture thing. They get mealy once they get too ripe and are good for nothing but smoothies and banana bread.

at work sometimes my boss will get candy during the super busy times. i guess it's because we haven't gotten a real raise in 5 years or something. anyway, she got laffy taffy one time and everyone in the office except for myself and one other girl ate completely around the banana until there were only banana left. it is safe to say i was shocked.

[sneakypower]

all of the above.

i need there to be runts: oops all bananas

aren't circus peanuts banana flavored, too? looks like i need to make a quick shopping trip now

[weis21]

i feel like circus peanuts are just circus-peanut-flavored

Mealy and flavorful > firm, filmy texture of flavorless unripe banana

I feel like circus peanuts are diarrhea flavored.
