My Christmas organic fruit and veg order has just arrived and I ordered some extra bananas for Christmas.

I thought I ordered an extra kilo - but my finger must have slipped - and so I now have 11 bags of bananas sitting in my kitchen!

A prize (bunch of bananas) for the person who comes up with the longest list of banana dishes

lol!

I once read that eating 5 bananas a day can reduce your blood pressure. Didn't mention what effect it would have on the bowels though.

really i eat about 5 what does raising mucus do?

Fry! Add brandy! Add match! Eat with icecrea!

onebatmotherofgoditschilly · 19/12/2007 14:15

dammit
match is to light brandy and must be blown out not eaten.

Myrrhcy - yes they do reduce blood pressure - my friend had to eat loads of them while in hospital for weeks with pre-eclampsia.

Never heard abut the mucous thing though - off to google before I pig out on bananas for lunch

so if u go to a party and they ask if your shoes are clean then take a banana out of your pocket eat it to line yiouyr stomach and the rub the skin over your shoes and say yes they are babe

sliced frozen banana is quite nice as it is, or you can blend it with yog for instant ice-cream-ish concoction or of course use in cooking. banana muffins are good, chocolate banana muffins even better.

I hope all those skins are going in a compost heap, like the fruit itself high in potassium so vg for flowering plants.

read second para - good mucous not bad mucous

hahaha. also don't forget banana skins make excellent pantyliners for feeling very fresh.

SantaBabyBeenAnAwfulGoodGirl · 19/12/2007 14:23

interesting

onebatmotherofgoditschilly · 19/12/2007 14:25

i don't want to hear about good or bad anal mucus. Am very fresh and clean..

DoesntChristmasDragOn · 19/12/2007 14:27

I prefer to freeze them peeled, in a bag/box, as I find squeezing them out of their thawed skins really rather revolting! It reminds me of pooing

soapbox · 19/12/2007 14:28

God knows what the organic company thought

I suppose I did also order 5 kilos of clementines - so they probably thought we are just a bunch of weirdy fruit eaters

ha ha I love these internet shopping errors!

My friends thought they were buying 8 oranges and ended up with 8 bags of 12 oranges.

96 oranges = cocktail night round at theirs! With minimal hangover possibly due to extra vitamin C intake or something.
