I didn't know you could do that to a banana!

I'm 35, loved baby led weaning with my daughter and am now doing the same with my 6 month old son, yet this morning my mind was blown by sticking my finger into a banana. So much easier for him to hold!

AIBU or just been living a sheltered existence? Though not sheltered enough to avoid double entendres Wink

I'll tell you what else you could do with a banana.

If you get a fine pin and stick it carefully through the skin, preferably on one of the seams where it doesn't show, then move it from side to side.
Remove and repeat a little further up. Then again further up and so on.

Done carefully it will not be obvious from the outside that it has been tampered with but in fact the banana inside has been sliced. Oh what fun to watch the face of the person who takes it out of the fruit bowl to eat and then sees it collapse in front of them when they unzip it!

That’s brilliant Op. Thanks.

(Baby is ten months old and I have been doing the ‘peel handle’ method.

I also read the banana-pin trick as a child. Tried it, but it’s impossible to waggle the pin enough to slice the banana without making it REALLY OBVIOUS that it’s been tampered with, because you end up making little holes.
