No, no, you've both got wrong - bananas are bought green and eaten as soon as you can get the skins off without too much trouble. Once they start to develop even the slightest hint of brown speckling then they are only good for making into banana muffins or slicing, dousing in cream, brown sugar and allspice, and baking in the oven...
EXACTLY! Although I never had baked bananas, it sounds good!
HEY! If you end up going to Hawaii, they have apple bananas! BUY THEM. The riper they are, the better they are. Like those pinkish Mexican plantains, they never lose that slightly-tart unripe-banana flavor. Incredible. *kisses fingertips*
Williams bananas (which really should turn up on the show, they're tiny like the apple kind and would make for some good ribald banter) are about the same size, but they taste like regular bananas and get overripe when they're yellow. :P
