Bananas… How to Serve Them!
Bananas… How to Serve Them Part 1, Part 2.
Bananas… How to Serve Them is a great 50+ page booklet of banana recipes published in 1940 by the Home Economics Department, NY NY. Everything is covered, from entrees to breads, to desserts, ice creams, shakes, sauces, salads, sandwiches and more! And if for some reason you’re not a banana flavor fan, but instead like cute illustrations, this heavily used/stained book o’mine is overflowing with fun images of bananas doing banana things in their natural banana habitat, like: juggling, smoking cigars, conversing with bacon, directing traffic, painting, sunbathing, pranking each other with buckets of glaze dumped on each other, etc!
Tattooed Bananas
Honey (Twitter) aus New York macht normalerweise schöne Illustrationen mit einem nicht so ganz graden Strich, wie ich ihn gerne mag. Und manchmal tätowiert sie Bananen mit einer Sicherheitsnadel. Toll! (via MyModernMet)

Inside the International Banana Museum
Cool Hunting hat das International Banana Museum besucht.
There are many interesting and odd things to be found off the shores of the dying Salton Sea in southern California but maybe one of the most unique is the International Banana Museum. Recently transplanted from Culver City, the museum occupies a squat building on the side of the Highway 111 in Mecca, CA, a relatively short drive south from Palm Springs. Housing the largest collection of banana paraphernalia in the world, the museum is a fascinating catalog of all the different ways the iconic fruit can take shape. For our latest video we stopped in and spoke to Fred “Banana Mon” Garbutt, who owns the collection and curates this curious collection.

Peeled Bananas packed in Plastic
Die geschälten Bananen in Plastik-Verpackungen gingen letzte Woche durchs (österreichische) Netz und haben bereits (zurecht) einen mittelkleinen Shitstorm ausgelöst, aber ich will das hier für mich festhalten.
A supermarket chain which advertises using a slogan that urges more common sense in shopping has been selling peeled bananas on plastic trays wrapped in foil. […]
One said that selling ready peeled bananas in a plastic package was the ultimate symbol of waste and the throw-away society. A spokesman for Greenpeace in Austria where the peeled bananas had been on sale said: “If there is an easy to open ready packed food it’s the banana – peeling it only to pack it in environmentally unfriendly plastic is just madness.”

Jeff Ledger hat aus einem Kickstarter-Projekt, in dem einer einen Bananen-Controler für Videogames gebastelt hat, einen Bananensynthie gebastelt. Dazu braucht man ein bisschen Technikschnickschnack und “Nine Bananas (8 notes & 1 to snack on)”.
Fear of the Flesh-Eating Killer-Banana
In Mozambique geht die Angst vor mit Bakterien verseuchten Bananen um, die Nekrotisierende Fasziitis auslösen, einer Krankheit, die die Haut absterben lässt. Die Bananenverkäufe sind im Keller, Grund ist ein eMail-Hoax.
MAPUTO — Rumours of flesh-eating bananas in Mozambique have sparked a plummet in the sale of the fruit, prompting the health minister Friday to reassure people of its safety.
“From the work conducted by the Ministries of Agriculture, Health and Trade and Industry, it was concluded that there is no record of entry of any infected banana in the country,” according to a joint statement.
An email and text message hoax warning people against eating bananas for the next three weeks went viral as people feared being infected by necrotising fasciitis, or skin-eating disease.
The bacteria can destroy skin, fat and tissue covering the muscles.
The messages also advised people to see a doctor if they developed a fever after eating the killer fruit.
Banana Motherfucker

Von den Portugiesen, die bereits mit Blarghaaahrgarg einen Kurzfilm über ein riesiges Popelmonster ablieferten, kommt demnächst Banana Motherfucker. Ein Film über Bananen. Jetzt weiß ich auch, warum Monty Python damals einen Selbstverteidigungskurs gegen Leute anboten, die einen mit Kirschen, Passionsfrucht und Bananen angriffen. Nach der Banane.

And now… Bananaphobia.
Eine Frau, die Angst vor Bananen hat: „The 21-year-old children’s worker suffers from bananaphobia, an overwhelming fear of the yellow fruit. ‘It began when I was seven and my brother put a banana in my bed as a joke,’ said Ms Dando, from Hastings, East Sussex.“ Ich mache keine Witze über Leute, die Angst vor Bananen haben. Ich mache keine Witze über Leute, die Angst vor Bananen haben. Ich mache keine Witze über Leute, die Angst vor Bananen haben. (via Arbroath)

It’s a bottle full of ketchup made from Bananas!
That’s what it is!
Banana ketchup or banana sauce is a popular Filipino condiment made from mashed banana, sugar, vinegar, and spices. It is often colored red to resemble tomato ketchup. Banana Ketchup was made when there was a shortage of tomato ketchup during the World War II, due to high production of bananas. (Wikipedia)
