To not drink tea if I've just had a piece of fruit?

[PuppyMonkey]

I was always told the tanin interferes with the absorption of the vitamins in fruit, so you'd be undoing all the good of your banana, apple etc.

I have to wait at least half an hour before having a cup of tea, otherwise I get all het up about it.

Work colleagues tell me I am a loon.

Am I?

And mince pies, in fact.

And what about wine?

[HORROR]!

Bananas and wine definitely don't go.

PuppyMonkey are you feeling a little sexually frustrated perhaps?

That is because bananas are odd - they are technically fruit but more accurately berries and grow on herbs plants not trees. Thus they can only be eaten properly with ice cream or in cases of extreme need with angles delight.

See it the bananas you should be worrying about not the straight forward tomatoes.

bananas are berries?!

wow I didn't know that. Hate bananas though having eaten tons of them every day as a child (since we had a whole orchard of them so made sense), cannot even imagine eating one - gah. Haven't learnt anything though, still force feed them to my own dc

Writer, not any more thank you. [ grin]
