Lunch Musings

[bjarvis]

I love bananas. Outside of cuyahogarvr and kent4str, they're probably my favourite fruit.

Bananas by themselves, banana bread, banana muffins, banana ice cream... it's all wonderful.

I generally prefer my chocolate uncontaminated with misc fruit flavourings but I make an exception for bananas. Bananas dipped in dark chocolate fondue, chocolate chips in banana muffins... Mmmmm.

OK, the carbon footprint for importing them is astronomical, but since I don't drink coffee --another huge carbon offender-- I don't feel too bad.

Just sayin'.

Bananas have never been my thing. I just... don't like them. Oddly enough, I love fried plantain. It is kind of freaky to think that these staple fruits are the product of sterile, genetic mutant plants that could not exist without major human intervention. :)

I'm not one for coffee either (okay, I do Fivebucks from time to time, but I'd be just as happy with diet pop). My carbon footprint excesses are avocadoes and mangoes. Mmmm....

kent4str doesn't like bananas either. I love plantain... yum!

Kinda neutral on avocadoes... I don't perceive much flavour and the texture is uninteresting. Mangoes, however, are fabulous. And honeydew melons. And lemons, limes, pears and peaches. I'm a fruit freak. :-)

...and I love fried plantain, too.

Plantains

Okay, here's where you lose me. You two can have all the plantains you want. Avacadoes, aka guacamole, are another story. I LOVE guacamole, aka avacados.
