How to Eat a Banana Like a Monkey

Step 7The Beauty of it All

The Beauty of it All
With the stem still intact you have a natural handle for the banana. There's no fumbling or trying to get the last bit out, it just happens easily and naturally.

So toss the peel in the compost and get on with your day a little happier that you just had a banana and you feel awesome!!

We humans clearly have a lot to learn from our fellow primates.

Yeah although you could quite convincingly argue that they have a lot more to learn from us.

Like language, writing, network routing...

 Not to doubt you but how do you know this is how monkeys eat bananas?

Sometimes I break the entire banana in half. If you pull evenly on each half (near the center) and then break it by pulling harder on the top, the peel splits and separates into two halves. Works best on ripe bananas. Then you can peel each half separately, from the middle. Also has the advantage of being able to save half for a while, without the need for a knife.

But, of course, the important question is: do you crack your eggs from the narrow end or the wide end? Crypto-Blefescuans need not reply!

I eat my bananas with a utensil. I first cut a ripe banana in half, then peel and slice or dice. I then mix with other fruits or top my cereal. Yay! for opposable thumbs!

You're supposed to peel them? No wonder I never liked bananas.

Never knew there was another way to eat bananas. Had to watch my dad eat one today, he broke the stem off like others are saying which of course bruised the fruit inside, my dad then cuts out the bad section and throws it away because he doesn't really like soft foods. Showed him how I've always done it and he just watched in amazement. hahaha

I thought this is how bananas are eaten -human style- (or any style for that matter).
