Banana poisoning! Does it exist??

isthis I can just see that busty retired chemistry teacher expounding on the texture attraction of mashed banana.

I never use the underline feature, but I love the 'strike through' and bold ones. And I'm far too fond of exclamation marks! Have I got a serious problem?

Nanae Yes yes yes, mashed banana on wholemeal bread (but no butter for me!) way to go. But mashed banana may look like old, blackened banana but in texture and taste they are entirely different. Mashed = delicious, blackened = gross. I think there's some complicated food biochemistry at work here. C'mon there bust be a retired school chemistry teacher on here (sorry, chemistry was always my most impenetrable subject at school) who can tell us why mashed banana is soooo exquisite!

And a psychology teacher who can explain why playing withe the underline, bold and italic features here has been such fun! Answer: Because I can!

Oh, I forgot, I had pears instead of a banana for breakfast (sorry, couldn't lay my hands on any nitrous oxide). Now I am going to have my daily banana with my redbush tea.

Bananas are a very useful fruit! I had a banana sandwich for lunch,,squishy banana mashed onto a slice of buttered brown bread..naughty but nice!

My Gransnet name is partly down to the fact that I love bananas, I eat at least one every day, usually for breakfast, sometimes I will eat another two during the course of the day, but they mustn't be too ripe. What a sad world it would be without bananas !

cari talking about cake where has the James Martin thread gone from the top of the threads, I thought they stayed up there until the web chat was over?

Banana loaf is lovely and uses all those past their best bananas up, always tastes better the day after its baked if it last that long.

They make a lovely cake when they have gone mushy and you can freeze them like that until you want to use them - apparently - that's if you can stand to touch them - yeuk. You'd best wash your hands after too.

I have weetabix and a banana for breakfast most days, does help with leg cramps as I can tell if I have missed my daily banana.

Ooo! I must confess I like a firm one too.

"I usually have a banana at breakfast time with yoghurt and Oatibix" - with liquid nitrogen? We know how to live here on Gransnet!

That's OK then. I usually have a banana at breakfast time with yoghurt and Oatibix.

Oh you've made me think of that poor girl who lost her stomach after drinking that cocktail .

In theory if someone eats enough pineapple it can dissolve their innards. This is because it contains a protein digesting enzyme! [grizzly halloweeny emoticon]
You can harness this in the form of a marinade (if you wanted pineapple flavoured meat - yuk)
GN has gone all chemical. Just been posting about aluminium on another thread.
Oh I do love science.

Jeni well if you don't like gin you could always have the tonic with vodka!

I like my bananas barely ripe. I can't stand them in the house when they start to smell.

Don't like gin!

ana we have the same system, I like them greenish DH likes them when they are almost overripe. Or for both of us, when they get a bit soft - bacon and banana on toast - yummy. Brown the banana in bacon fat. No diet there! I've never heard of anyone getting banana or potassium poisoning.

I don't like them either.

I take one on all my long walks to prevent low blood pressure - plus a bottle of water, of course.

jeni and a gin & tonic!
