Very Large Bananas

[PrinceOfCats]

Does anyone know where I can buy a very large banana or what varieties of banana are particularly large?

I might just have to make do with a melon if I can't find a large enough banana but a banana would be best. Thanks.

There's a very large type of a banana... but the name wont pop into my head....

Yeah, I know - I went to a banana platation in Kenya once...I just can't for the life of me remember what it's called either though!

The plantain or platano macho is a very large banana, but is usually eaten cooked if I remember correctly. :grrr:

That's the one! Thank you so much - if you were a multipurpose collapsible frisbee I'd marry you...

I don't want to eat the banana though...I only need the skin.

It's beauty's only that deep then.

And you're welcome.

hahah me too.. I looked under new posts and the first thing I saw was "very large bananas" it stuck me as quite odd

Large banana, only need the skin.

ahh

he's making a pair of banana skin trousers

 

[TheSoCalledPrep]

Won't they... dry out... and not fit anymore?

I like the idea though.

"I'll show you a real fruit trend once I obtain a plantain and some preservative resin..."
Won't you post when you've finished?

My friend just got one of those new-fangled digital devices so once I obtain a plantain, freeze it, saw the top off, paint it with resin and then glue, drill holes in it and attach handles I'll take a photo
