Bananas!

Just had a banana sandwich - on multi-grain bread. Delicious.

specki4eyes, thanks for that tip,I love bananas and am tired of them going off quickly. Annobel* Banana sandwiches were our treat in our house as children. Don't think I have had one since.

Mnnnnnnn bananas sandwiches , I used to just mash one up in a bread roll when I was working it was mine and my workmates favourite snack.. I do have one occasionally.. my Dad used to put brown sugar on it .. bit too sweet for me.

Love banana sandwiches with lemon juice sprinkled over them seems to bring out the flavour and of course a little sugar yum , yum

I'm so glad to be able tell my Honorary Mum that her trick with bananas is successfully circulating on the internet. She's housebound, can't text, hasn't got a bankers card and is dependent on others for her shopping. She discovered this method of keeping her supply of bananas edible by accident. She's going to be so thrilled!!

Thinly sliced bananas with freshly squeezed lemon or lime are delicious as a side dish with curries. And banana splits for pudding are good too - banana, sliced horizontally, double cream, pecan nuts and maple syrup. Yum yum.

My hubby born at the end of war in Scotland remembers his mum always saying to him..."You can't have a banana without a bit of bread and butter"...it's a saying we always say when we have a banana and laugh at it..I presume as they were a rarity after the war you had to make a meal of it not just a snack...anyone else heard this one?

They were a rarity even after the war. The first ones I saw were at a friend's birthday party in 1946 or 47 and they were very green. Nevertheless we devoured them avidly. During the war, my mum made 'banana sandwiches' with mashed parsnips and banana flavouring. As we didn't know the real thing, we happily accepted this substitute.

I think you had to have a green ration book (child under five) when they first arrived in England after the war.
I have a banana every day (for the potassium etc), on a small piece of a baguette, just long enough to take the banana lengthwise. I finish with a natural yoghurt/lemon yoghurt, half and half. That is my mid-day meal - I have a proper protein meal in the early evening.
I used to throw away a lot of bread, but now I cut my French stick or baguette into pieces, wrap each piece in cling film and freeze them. I get one out of the freeezer each day when I get up and it is ready to eat by lunchtime.
My sister loves banana on toast but I prefer untoasted bread.

My mother's nickname from D2 at age three was Blana Girl because she noticed Mum was always eating bananas!

I prefer spotty bananas .sweeter and easier to digest.I buy them firm and wait to eat until they are spotty.I would never store in frig. or near other fruit.
Toast with marmalade and sliced/mashed bananas is yummy.
