Poll question: How do you peel a banana?

Edited on Sun Apr-23-06 07:10 AM by Prag

This has been a raging debate in my family for years.

My daughter has recently come over to my side. :7

I will post some non-biasing responses, so as to
have a fair poll.

Edit: I've observed other primate species peeling bananas and for the purposes
of this poll they'll be considered the "experts".

3. Here's the video...

Just saw this video through a link at the Crooks & Liers website.

It appears that not only did God create the banana, but had designed
it to be eaten only one way!

4. That *is* a disturbing thought.

In my observations primates seem to generally use methods two
and three above. Gorillas will hold it in both hands and break it
in the middle. Smaller primates eat it from the "flower" end due
to the fact the stem might still be attached to the bunch.

I find it interesting that they rarely eat the peels. Even when
it's been cut for them. That said, I doubt bananas are a natural
food for many primates.
