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 like my bananas with freckles, but if they turn all the way brown, they get made into chocolate swirl banana bread that's delicious.

When I was in college, my best friend/roommate and I would buy bananas together. She liked them on the green side (once they were totally yellow or, goddess forbid, developed some freckles, she wouldn't eat them), and I liked them when they were fully ripened. We bought them really green, and let them ripen slowly, buying new green ones as the older ones turned yellow. Worked great!

Fwiw, I eat bruised bananas too, if they're not too badly bruised. But it's not my goal when I'm buying bananas or choosing which to eat.
