Everyday when I eat lunch I eat a banana, not just because it rhymes with my name but that does help. I eat one because I love fruit and I really enjoy them. To be totally honest the baller amount of potassium in each one is also a benefit. This means that I need to buy bananas often since I really only like my bananas just on the yellow side of green, maybe a little unripe. I can eat them until they get brown spots all over, then they are too stinking mushy to eat. The ones on the right are perfect and just ready to eat.
So with that little amount of background, I tend to buy bananas over the weekend. One day when I went to the store the bananas were ready to eat and I knew that I needed bananas for the whole week and didn't want to have to come back to the store. So I buy three ready bananas and three really green bananas with the idea that I would eat the ripe bananas and then the green ones would be ready. Sounds like a brilliant PhD worth idea... and it is usually.
After eating the three ripe bananas, I moved onto the ripe bananas seen to the left... now these are as green as they look. I took it to work and sat down for lunch with one of my work friends. I ate my sandwich and moved onto one of these bananas. First, it did not peel right. The peel shredded and tore sounding kinda like paper. I looked down at this monstrosity at my table and wondered what is going on. So I get a little closer to this and it smells like a banana and it looks like one. Seeing as I cannot get into the fruit part I decide not to eat it. I set it down on the table and eat some chips and maybe a few crackers. At the end of lunch I look down and this thing was oozing liquid out from it. Now what is this fruit it what I was wondering.
By the time I got home I was hoping for some good looking bananas that were going to be delicious. But instead I got weird bananas. A week after I bought them they were still green and rock hard. The picture below is a comparison of two bananas. I still don't know what I got, they weren't plantains because they were pretty small in comparison to what a plantain usually is. I guess there could be mini-plantains here in Texas but I don't really know what I got. I did just end up throwing these away. I didn't know what to do with these inedible bananas.
