Never heard of anyone eating only part of a banana...

You aren't the only one... fridge. I prefer most fruit cold. They are okay for a couple days fridged. I don't like when they start to speckle, start to get too sweet.

Me neither. I always try to buy my bananas at Trader Joe on the green side, and then I neglect to eat them until they are overripe. This time I felt too guilty to throw them away, so I made banana bread.

Over ripe bananas are excellent frozen... better than ice cream... can
even be dipped in chocolate and coated with nuts.

Remove peel, roll each in waxed paper, twist ends and freeze. Eat
frozen like an ice pop or use in smoothies. I love watching gals eat
frozen bananas. ;)

waxed paper, you say... will have to try. I tried saving a couple bananas couple years ago in the freezer, but one rolled out and future ex wife said it damn near broke her toe!

I wondered about waxed paper too. Why not cling wrap? Would fit more tightly ergo less chance of freezer burn. If there's a downside, what is it?

I tried leaving couple au natural in their skin. But had a Dickens of a time trying to unwrap- and gave up. I hear the over ripe/frozen are good for daquiris or smoothies, but not tried-- yet... Pic-pac has 29 cent bananas a pound on Wednesdays and been meaning to try someday.

For the same reason confections and baked goods are typically wrapped
with waxed paper... plastic cling wrap is apt to adhere/bond... when
removed will pull away part of the banana. Bananas don't contain
sufficient water for freezer burn to occur. BTW, wax is not toxic,
wax is a natural plant/vegetable product. Of course feel free to do
as you want... I hope the rest of your lives isn't as broken/slovenly
as your newreader... what's with all the double spacing? And learn to
clean up your attributions... does your mommy still wipe your ass?

Maybe sensei is showing us The Way... wax on, wax off.

Probably the new GG (?), it sucks ass... does not wipe cleanly.
