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.

You have offended my food mixing rules on so many levels I don't even know what to do with you. Bananas are just plain icky once they pass the firm/green phase. Banana chips is what happens once our bananas pass the brown icky phase and Dad slices and dries them. this is just wrong. I'm trying to be patient with you because you are under stress, but this blog is just wrong. If blogging relieves stress, blog away, but really...dew and bananas...
