Yep, that's off topic, though appealing on an intellectual level. Question: what do you do if you see a blue bananna? Try to cheer it up!

they would be a value if the core was not so large....

MSDS only says use caution when walking on the outer peel as it is rumored to be extremely slippery. No scientific evaluation has been completed to date.

That is a great movie

Didn't the hippies dry the peal lining and smoke it? 

 

An old saying went like this "Yes, we have no bananas ".

I read a study recently that claimed that humans eat more bananas than monkeys. For the life of me, I cant remember ever eating a monkey.

Try it with a nice wine reduction sauce.

I don't know you personally but you're a lot tougher than am I!  On the other hand, sausage is made of whatever is left, I think.  Therefore whatever is left of monkeys is probably the same as whatever is left of domestic farm animals.

 

The answer is still no!

Having eaten both (monkey meat & bananas), I can say that I prefer the monkey meat, but I sleep better after having eaten a banana than I did after having eaten monkey meat.  (I actually don't care too much for bananas, except for a variety we had in Brazil, called banana maca - literally 'apple banana'.)

I've had monkey twice.  First time was when I was in the Army.  I was in Panama back when the U.S. had the jungle operations school there, predating Op: Just Cause.  Kids selling BBQ meat on a stick that turned out to be monkey.  That time I knew what it was, and being the Sergeant, I was naturally "obligated" to try it first.  We had just completed the JOTC school, so it was certainly better that the bugs, roots, and snakes we had been eating, but I didn't think I'd eat it again unless I had too.  The monkeys were a PIA there anyway, but I doubt we ate the ones that were harassing us in the jungle.  Then I had some monkey stew when I was in Bolivia with the Border Patrol on a DEA assignment.  I didn't realize it at first.  We were on a patrol with the locals in the Chapare Valley, and the Alcalde from a small village out in the jungle invited us to dinner.  "Hearts and minds" stuff, so we couldn't turn him down.  Discovered there was monkey in the stew when a couple of their little heads bobbed up when the cook stirred the pot.  They treat their monkey stew like a squirrel stew aficionado - gotta include the heads. A little disconcerting at first because they initially looked like little human heads.  The locals considered it quite a delicacy, and that we should be honored to partake.  There was enough other stuff in it to make it OK, but it was still gamey, nothing a good dose of Tabasco didn't cure.  I also recall that the bananas in Panama were OK, but the ones in Bolivia were awful. Sorry for the long post, the thread got me reminiscing...
