Since I named the site Tastes Like Banana, I figure I should at least do something related to the name.
Most people I know either love bananas (babies, old people, other people with no teeth) or they hate bananas. I like bananas, but mostly because I'm lazy and it's one of those rare fresh fruits that you don't have to cut, wash, seed, or worry about wrapping up to put in your bag. And when they rot on my counter, I can put them in a delicious bread and give it to people who happily eat the rotten bananas wrapped in carbs and butter. (I'll post my awesome recipe for Carb-Wrapped Rotten Banana later.)
Only gingers should be covered in freckles.
Bananas have a really unique taste, which I've only realized since writing this post. Not much tastes like banana... off the top of my head I can only name two - bananas (duh) and golden kiwis (yeah, kinda!). There are even banana-looking things that don't taste like banana (I'm talking about you, plantain).
Plantain isn't one of the cool kids.
Some things I've learned about bananas while making this post are pretty disturbing and have reduced my like of bananas. Here are three of them:
#1 Bananas we have in stores today are basically inbred clones with inferior genetics. They don't have seeds and are sterile, unable to reproduce, so would have been wiped out by Mother Nature long ago if not for human intervention.
#2 People who shop at Walmart love bananas. It's their #1 selling product. You can also assume that FUPAs love bananas, too because it's a fact that FUPAs like to shop at Walmart.
#3 One day, all bananas will either be wiped out by disease because they are genetically inferior clones (don't fuck with Mother Nature) or they will all be genetically modified mutants created by scientists to avoid fate.
There isn't really a moral to this post, but now I've done something related to my blog name. 😬
