The Art of Peeling a Banana
I believe that there is a real art to peeling a banana.
The Art of Peeling a Banana
I was thinking about it as I sat trying to figure out how I would peel one that I got from a couple of bunches my mother bought from Cub foods and has laying around.
When I was peeling a banana for my mom just a week or so ago she went out of her way to ask me to peel the banana from the known bottom which has a brown dot, instead of the part that most people use the stemmed part that connects the bunches together.
I remember watching a gorilla on a documentary open a banana as my mom did because it was then easier to hold the banana by the stem and not squish the banana by holding it the other way. I wonder why people always associate Gorillas with Bananas.
I wonder if there is a method that is best at peeling the banana…by the known bottom or the top. It is a question that I’ll try to answer by eating more bananas and peeling them in different ways.
Banana = Gorilla = What?!
I believe there is a real beauty to opening a banana, it is a completely genuine and original act no one can open a banana twice. Once it’s been open no one else can put it back together. It is an treasure that only lasts for a limited time. I feel that I don’t take the food that I eat seriously enough.
God gave us bananas for a reason…what if they were to run out?
I think from now on I’m going to try to not inhale my fruit…but to instead take my time and think about the gift that God has given me…and the once only opportunity I’m given to peel my bananas.
