So, when you are peeling a banana by hand, no knife or other tools, do you start by opening it at the stalk end or the non-stalk end? There is money riding on this! thanks. Country of origin would be a nice little additional touch too if you don't mind.

Actually , I haven't been eating them for about 6 years and mum would ummm , well , she'd shout ! Anyhow , I've voted for the stalk end because this is what I usually do when preparing some cake or fresh juice for my family . I'd never eat them , though .

Reminds me of Gulliver’s Travels and the war of the Lilliputians over which end an egg should be broken from. Muayad Jajo Joined on Mon, Mar 20 2006 Junior Member 76 Even Homer sometimes nods
