Attempted poll --

[kinzel]

Friday I was at the grocery store looking for a banana or two for Saturday's breakfast and I asked the young man putting up large bunches of seaweed green fruit if he's seen, you know, fruit  I could eat in the morning. He scratched his head and said "You want yellow? Most people get them as green as they can!"[Poll #1435756][Poll #1435756]

I submitted my poll. However, my mother (86), who also lived in Baltimore growing up - (until about 1944) feels that a banana isn't ripe until it has brown speckles.

Not bruises though - that's different. And she'll eat it hapily all the way through to approaching brown.
