maybe we’ll get the little tasty ones instead!

Good. Spiders just use them to smugle themselves into the country.
Plus the trees walk (true story)

While I don’t mind eating bananas, they give me stomach cramps about 30 minutes after eating them, so have to mentally avoid eating them. I guess the fibre or similar is doing odd thing sin my stomach…

All of this has happened before. But the question remains, does all of this have to happen again?

Panama disease.

What you get for having a crop that isn’t genetically diverse, all bananas come from one variety, so are very much at risk from disease; this has been ongoing for some years.

As above, the bananapocaylpse has been brewing for years.

+1 the little ones you get from the girls on the beach in Goa are much more ‘bananary’

Fortunately we’ve been hoarding bits of nanas here in Belgium for years and soon our plans for global domination will come to ‘fruit’ bwahahaha

Try letting them ripen fully, the skins should be thin and spotted brown.

whats Freelee going to do?

all bananas come from one variety

isn’t it worse than that, in that they are, for all intent and purposes, the same plant.

Other varieties are far more banarey, it’s true. I was amazed to be in the staff room one day (in The Philippines) when people were talking about their faourite types of bananas. I hadn’t been there long so looked confused when asked and think I said “Tesco’s”.

As with so much fruit and veg, much better to grow your own.

Think thats bad we have an avocado crisis down here!

Yuck! That’s when I throw them away (or make smoothies or use them in porridge). Can’t stand ripe bananas on their own.

Get well soon banana.
