B-A-N-A-N-A-S


I would like to briefly discuss the versatility of bananas. The bananas is awesome by itself, but there are several ways the fruit can enhance the awesomeness of other foods.
  • Dehydrated Bananas (not necessarily an addition, but an enhancement nonetheless). Dehydrating bananas transforms the bananas chip to a state that draws out the amount of time it takes to eat the banana, thus enhancing the awesomeness.
  • Banana and Peanut Butter Sandwiches. There are few things better than peanut butter during a long day's hike/climb. Peanut butter is often consumed in sandwich form, so why not stick a few banana chips on there? Its a flavor combination that will blow your mind and leave you ready to climb mountain peaks.
  • Banana and Mt Dew. This is simple: 1) eat a banana 2) drink Mt Dew. This flavor juxtaposition will make your mouth do a happy dance.
  • Banana chips + Strawberry/Raspberry jello. Quit hating on Jell-O. Jell-O is awesome, and the awesomeness is mind blowing when bananas are added. No arguments.
I think the various stages bananas go through are also awesome. Do you want something firm? Eat a green banana? Would you prefer something more flavorful, and a little squishier? Eat a spotted banana. I'm not ready to completely commit to the notion, but I'm beginning to believe that the banana is the best fruit ever!

*There's a Church of the Banana. If that isn't awesome, I don't know what is. That's where I got the picture from.
