Darn! A missed opportunity. Alas, I am too far down The Big C path to turn back now. And I am not sure how sustainable a Big B Banana Blog would be. Whereas, let’s face it, I can keep writing about me! pretty much ad nauseam.
Still - had I known that bananas! even hospital floors! would generate so much lively reader traction, I might have blogged about them first. A few minutes here to muse on what I could have! should have! done and then I will move on….
The Mini B & NJB (a Banana Blogette!)
In this blogette, I am going to get straight to the point which I realize will be both refreshing and unexpected.
How many sides does a banana have?
The answer is
Oh, wait! Let me first mention that at the American Legion Trivia Nite there is NO arguing with the Official Answer. A few have tried and the result is we – by which I mean a group of perhaps 120 Oldsters (including some highly decorated Oldsters) - have been roundly chastised. So! Do not send me a carefully cross-sectioned and preserved slice of four-sided banana and expect to sway me.
The Official Answer is: FIVE.
However, here’s some food for thought that is open for discussion:
Any other fruits/vegetables with can-be-counted sides?
Speaking of sides, are bananas a divisive, two-distinct-camps food? Like cilantro? Or truffle salt. Love? Hate? But very little middle ground?
At the Banana Blogette, your opinion matters.
But type quickly because tomorrow it is back to The Big C and all that depressing Big C stuff.
I will let Arlene know the answer is 5 sides, but she will dispute it, I'm sure.
