A true story: Last night in the wee hours I was awoken by a loud thump. I guessed that something on the roof had blown over so I turned back to sleep. Then a really loud thump - was it the front door?! It sounded like it. I grabbed a heavy, military-style torch and waited, ready to clobber the intruder. Then something yellow in the kitchen blurred past - an overripe banana had fallen from its hook and joined two others on the metal kitchen table below.Thanks, Nick G!
Moral: Only Cheung Chau greengrocers can keep bananas green for more than a day. Or: Things that go bump in the night may be bananas.
An enigma wrapped up in a mystery: Santa Banana! Why is it that 'Cavendish' bananas don't seem to ripen in the open-air markets, but from the moment you buy them they instantly speed ripen? And why is it those smaller, quite different tasting (as yet) no-name bananas last much longer? Anyone know?
