Poll: Bananas (the fruit)

DH and I CONSTANTLY have this arguement, although financially, it's an excellent problem to have. 

I like bananas kinda green- firm, tart, and hard to open. DH does not. he only likes them yellow with start of ittybitty pin-point dots of brown. yuck!

  • I like them green too...after they turn yellow and get those brown dots on them they're too mushy.

  • I put "in the trash" but only because I'm seriously allergic LOL.
  • I like mine yellow with a little green. Once they start getting brown they are gross to me. My DH wont eat them if they are green. I love bananas. I love them in smoothies, bread, with yogurt, by themselves. They are just good. Oh, and the best... in Banana splits. yummy.

  • if it's called a strawberry mango something or other that contains some bananas, the bananas are all i can taste! if i wanted a banana smoothie, i would have ordered a banana smoothie.

    that's a lot of bananas there. haha. :)

     

    ETA: but, my hubby and i have the same "issue" you and your DH have- he likes em green and i like them yellow. the only problem is there are never any yellow bananas because he eats them before they ripen! lol

  • I love yellow! hahaha

    I was just watching the bananas episode of "Good Eats" and AB says that yellow with brown spots is when the banana is actually just starting to ripen. 

  • I can't stand them when they are too ripe, such as when they get the little brown spots. However, H will eat anything, so I know they will hardly ever go to waste.

    We do love them in smoothies (then I can't tell if they are really ripe or not)

  • Not a banana fan at all. I try to eat them, but their mushiness disgusts me. I'll only eat banana bread if I'm trying to be polite to someone who's made it, haha.

    Me too! I just hate the flavor. & the stringyness of it inside things like muffins or bread grosses me out. My son loves them, he would eat them all day long if I let him.

  • I like them on the green side... when they are completely ripe, they get mushy.  blech!

    Oh- and I make a mean banana bread.  I've gotten marriage proposals over it.  Just sayin ;)

  • I <3 banananaaaasss.

    If I'm eating just the banana, I like it a little green so that they're firm.

    If it's in smoothies or baking then I don't really care! I ALWAYS get banana in my smoothie. My favorite is Acai, pomegranate, blueberries and banana. Sometimes throw peach or pineapple in there too :)

    I'm with you on this.  I hate bananas. DH loves them and has one every morning.  I hate the smell, I hate the taste, I hate them in smoothies, drinks, muffins and breads.  I just stay far away from them.

  • Yellow with some green!

    or a Peanut Butter and Banana Sandwhich!!!!! YUMMMMMMMMMMMM

    *raises hand*

    I do eat them with small green/mostly yellow and think they're great. But I love them the very best when they're all yellow but before the brown. Eww. Bruised bananas are ick.
