How do I stock my bananas?

Good question. Most people say that you shouldn’t stock your bananas with other fruits because it’ll only take them two to three days to turn into an ugly brownish color. That’s kinda weird because I’ve never ever had that problem- my bananas seem resistant. I’ve always had them on a plate with different sorts of fruits- only some of them, but they’d always stayed yellow and tasty.

People also say you shouldn’t keep them at low temperatures like in the fridge. But that’s what I always do with my green bananas when I don’t want them to ripen. I mean, that’s what they do on the vessel ships- they keep them cold.

Honestly I don’t know what’s true and what isn’t. But I’m gonna get myself a bowl and check out if the other fruit’s still good.

Banana prices going down

If all banana republics (that don’t admit being banana republics) would decide to admit to their situation, it would mean the rapid sinking of the world wide market price for the banana, because nobody would know anymore who deals with bananas and who just does bent deals.

Soccer and bananas

You can succeed in soccer with bananas. For example with banana centers. Their inventor is the pro-soccer player Manfred Kaltz. Banana centers they’re called because he was able to not only shoot straight ahead but also in a bent flight path. He always served his teammates the good balls. One of them was Horst Hrubesch, also called the header monster. That’s cause that guy was crazy about bananas and never let one of Manfred Kaltz’ pass.

Banana experiment

Those who make a hashed joint next time, can try a banana instead of a sausage. I do not warrant for the taste because I’ve never tried it, but hey, why don’t you just tell me what it’s like?

Bananita

Only cause it means “small” it doesn’t have to be “small”, right? Here’s a witty cocktail for your afternoons:

Take: A fancyglass, gotta put em somewhere, eh? You don’t need a small one, either, just because it’s called that- but we already had that one. Pour into the glass: 5 cl pineapple juice, 4 cl Vodka, 2 cl banana liqueur, 2 cl of cream, 1 cl coconut syrupy, 1 cl of chocolate syrupy and 1 cl of lemon juice and mix it. Decorate everything with a chop of banana, and never ever forget the crushed ice! Gezuar!
. Gezuar!

Not all chocolate bananas are edible

Believing that a choco-banana is always equal to a choco-banana, is pretty wrong. There are some you can’t eat. This one apologizes with pretty pictures and other servies you might need some day.

Capital of the banana

Did you know, that Machala, the capital of the Ecuadorian province El Oro, at the same time is called “World Capital of the Banana”? The port Puerto Bolivar is the most important banana port in Ecuador, the state that produces and exports most of the bananas world wide.
