Um, buy smaller bananas... didja know there are about 100 kinds of
bananas, many are much smaller than the typical stupidmarket banana...
some taste the same, others taste different. If you shop at the
ethnic markets you will find a broader range of bananas. And those
smaller types are often a better buy, they have thinner peels. You
may even like some better, I used buy reddish skinned fingerling sized
bananas, they looked like an ordinary banana only smaller but they
tasted mildly of strawberry.
