I've lived everywhere in the US, north south, east west and central
and never once tasted banana pudding, never even thought to since a
ripe banana is already practically already puddding... I do like to
add sliced banana to vanilla icecream... however for the past two
years I've been eating two bananas every day, doctors orders for night
leg cramps, and with a magnesium pill before bed. So far it's
worked... night leg cramps are awful, very painful, ruins a night's
sleep, by the time I could walk it off it was light out so I never did
get back to bed. Bananas are healthful and very low calorie with just
about zero fat. Only negative is that bananas have gotten expensive,
I can remember 9¢/lb, now they are normally 59¢/lb but sometimes
79¢/lb, and very rarely bananas go on sale for 39¢/lb... I'm tempted
to buy a bunch on sale but bananas don't keep well unless I freeze
them and at times I do, peel and wrap each in waxed paper and twist
the ends like a candy. Frozen bananas are like eating frozen custard.
I sometimes offer a frozen banana to a women, they seem to like it, I
enjoy watching women enjoy sucking on a frozen banana.
