How do you like your bananas?

[Diver]

Green, yellow or black?

Personally I like 'em just as they are turning black.

Which is a problem since the ones sold by supermarkets these days are hard, green and completely inedible IMO.

Ditto tomatoes. And pears for that matter.

AtW's favourite banana:

[gingerjedi]

Tomatoes - soft and ripe, Mediterranean style.
Bananas - Yellow, black makes me heave.

I eat mine like an ape, I squeeze the pip out the bottom.

[fullyautomatix]

Bananas yellow with no hint of green.

Tomatoes red of course.

Pears I like to be hard.

Plums should be soft and juicy.

Tomatoes ripen fine on a sunny window sill, but to be honest I haven't seen a green one in the shops for yonks. The ones I buy are either local produce or from Italy, which probably explains that.

I only buy pears if their tops are soft.

dark yellow.

ripe bananas are a great food. unripe bananas basically block you up.

the only issue with them is having huge amounts of potassium. the first symptom of high potassium is death. though the only ones who need to worry are those with kidney issues.

which is why i regularly send my ex some. and grapefruit juice. and st johns wort.

bananas must be just right - not green cos then they are too hard and not black cos then they are too soft.

Pears however must be soft n juicy - I love a soft juicy pear me!

No preference on tomatoes though.
