To find bananas repulsive?!

[Bananabread157]

Just to be clear, I love the taste of bananas and absolutely love anything banana flavoured or banana based.

but an actual banana? No way. Love the taste. Cannot STAND the texture- it physically repulses me and I can’t even explain why!

anyone else?

Me! I hate the texture and the taste. I find bananas to be absolutely disgusting, they make me gag and have done since I was a child. I am very sensitive to textures in food though.

I quite like banana bread, but otherwise, I tend to avoid it as much as possible.

I am with you. I can't stand the sound of people eating them either, there's a kind of pulpy, mushy sound like an animal eating. When I was a child I remember being repulsed by people in my family eating them. I thought they sounded like monkeys.

I don't mind the taste but I eat them out of duty as they are a true whole food and give the best energy boost that you'd only usually get out of bread, cakes etc.

I like the taste of fresh banana but the smell of rotting or overripe bananas makes me gag.

I’m practically phobic of bananas. Cannot bear to be around them. People think nothing of just whacking one out of their bag and eating it wherever and I hate getting ambushed by someone noshing one on the bloody bus or at the desk next to me at work.

Disgusting things. If I ever become PM I’m implementing a countrywide ban.

For a minute there I thought my DD had found her way to MN. She hates banana and all things banana related with a passion. She even struggles to peel one.

I understand what you mean. I'm fine with Bananas but eggs make me gag, even when someone else eats them.

Everything about them is disgusting- smell, taste, texture. There’s nothing worse than someone near you at work eating one and then leaving the skin sitting around for ages getting progressively stinkier. Should be a hanging offence.

Sometimes I can eat them when just ripened, can't stand the smell, taste or look of over ripe bananas. When I was pregnant I had to avoid the bananas in the supermarket, they were too strong and made me heave.

I've found my people 😍 I hate bananas! The smell, the taste, the texture, everything!! BLEURGHHHH

I'm the exact opposite, I love bananas but can't stand banana flavoured things, so glad when the lockdown ended and I wasn't presented with loads of banana bread and as for banofee pie, vomit en croute would be a better name!

Loathsome fruit.

It sounds like you have bananaphobia.

Cannot abide in any way, shape or form. Including in cake (which I ain't that fussy about)

Every few years I have a bit of one to see if my tastes have matured / developed. They never have.

DC2 and DC3 love them, DC1 will suffer them.

Bananas are vile. I will pretty much eat anything, but bananas are beyond me, mostly due to the texture. It was a nice surprise when I realised my husband hated them too, as well as pomegranites.

I can't remember any traumatic experiences with bananas, but the pomegranite thing was due to a school cruise, rough seas and eating my first (and only) pomegranite.

I used to make the most amazing banana loaf and that was delicious, so I don't think the flavour is an issue. Mind you, cake makes most things edible.

Horrible things. Don't even smell like food..

I think they’re okay. I used to really dislike them when I was a kid (the fruit itself and anything banana-flavoured).

I now quite like stuff like banana bread though, and am growing to like bananas as well, although they’re far from being my favourite fruit! I’m sort of forcing myself a little to like them, as it’s an easy way to up my fibre intake 😭

Same reasons for disliking them as others have mentioned - the texture is strange, not a huge fan of the taste (wish they were juicy, rather than being stodgy) and just don’t find them that interesting.

Funny, I feel this exact same way about apples. The crunch!! 😫 DH thinks it's hilarious
.
Love an apple pie though!

I hate bananas too - both texture and taste. I don't even like handling them without their skins on, eg recently I was cutting one up to put on DH's cereal just after he'd had an operation. Yuck.

I wish I did like them as they are really good for you.

So what, you guys don't have banana sandwiches??!!

This is mad.

I love bananas and banana flavoured things, but banana flavoured things don't taste like banana.

I know a jam and banana sandwich is so easy. But no.

They make me retch! Bleuch. I can't even stand the smell, if DH eats one, I send him outside. Poor DH 😂

Banana squelch noises are 🤢

I have never really liked bananas, would maybe eat one very occasionally, but I am currently pregnant and happily eating one for breakfast almost daily! Must have something I need in them...

It’s weird because I seriously love the flavour of bananas. I would actively choose it over other flavours!

it’s just the soft mushy texture that gives me the ick! Disgusting.

like other posters, I try to make myself eat them because they’re so healthy!
