Does anyone really like bananas?

I mean really like them.  There are times when I crave a tart, crispy apple or a delicious juicy peach, but I've never craved a banana.  I long for certain fruits to come into season - nectarines, berries, cherries, apples. 

I know that lots of people eat bananas, and I do to.  I think they're ok.  They make tasty bread and other baked goods.  They're easy to eat on the run.  But I can't think of single person who has ever craved a sweet, mushy banana.  They aren't really grown to have seasons the way our other fruit does, they aren't best at any particular time of year.  You don't develop the same sense of longing.

Do you love bananas?  Am I being to harsh on them?

ME!!! ME!!! ME!!!

Carrie, this is the weirdest thread ever!! 

No, I wouldn't say I ever crave bananas, but then I never crave apples either. Peaches are a different story! But I do like bananas, apples, etc.

I crave bananas, but probably only because I can't eat them anymore.  I developed a late in life intolerance.  So now that I can't have them, I crave them.

LOL!  I agree. 

I don't think I crave them, but I do love them in most cereals.  I crave summer fruits if anything.

I do love banana flavoured things though.  I used to love the gum back in the 80's.  And I love the sweets you can get now.

I love banana's but I can have 1 a day since starting my Weight Watchers programme.      I learned that the hard way when I was doing Slimming World. I wasn't losing any weight but I was eating at least 2 or 3 Banana's a day whoops.    so now I only eat 1 banana a day an that is with my breakfast.    I also love banana flavored candy as well.

My littlest one would kill for banana (real!) milk.

shugga, I eat bananas like that on Slimming World, and have not had any problem losing weight.  I absolutely LOVE them!  They are definitely the one fruit I overindulge in. 

LOL. What a fab thread!!!

I like them but I definitely wouldn't say I love them or crave them. And I think I prefer them in bread, pie, or cereal than on their own....

Peaches and strawberries are pretty much the only fruit I really and truly crave....

Same here Karin.  Bananas were my favorite fruit until I was 17 and ate one and had an allergic reaction.  I crave them all the time now

I hadn't thought about this until now, but I honestly can't remember the last time I ate a banana on its own! I have one sliced on cereal fairly often, but that's about it.

Ok, ok!  I guess I was wrong.   

Apparently it is possible to truly love bananas.  And a lot of people do!  I guess that explains the empty shelves in the supermarkets on Saturday and Sunday afternoons.

Me too.  The last banana I had was 25 years ago and there are times I REALLY want one.

I was told by the Slimming World leader of the class I was going at the time to cut back on my Banana consumption.  she said thats probably why I wasn't losing any weight.      I overindulge on Pink Lady apples preferably they are the perfect size & taste the best to me.  I have an apple every day after I go swimmning or to the gym it is the perfect snack for me tides me over till dinner without any problem.   

I'm not much of a banana fan at all. I'll eat them, but only if they're at the perfect stage of ripeness, which is still a touch green. After they get brown spots, forget it. I like banana bread but only if there are no slimy brown chunks of banana--they have to be completely mashed. I won't touch anything else with banana: I loathe banana chips with a passion, and banana flavoring makes me sick to my stomach. Even the smell of banana candy or gum makes me feel slightly ill.

Yes, I have serious banana issues!
