I used to open it from the stem side, but then I saw video of a monkey open from the bottom… I tried it and it was easier to open especially the less ripe ones.
Yes, butt:
I also saw a video of a monkey peeling it from the stem side and then proceeding to clean it of all those stringy bits before finally eating it.
Here it is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FIc5kTth1lE
lol I cut that tip off
Yes, i too recently discovered opening from the bottom. It actually opens easier, the stem becomes a little handle andsome people look at me like I’m an alien which is added fun
Also when you drop the peel on the ground for someone to comically slip on, it looks like it does in the cartoons.
The bottom. Which I guess is the bit without the sticky out but that it’s snapped of a bunch with. You just squeeze the bottom black bit and it opens up.
Most people I see pull the top but that’s more unreliable. I believe monkeys will use my technique, or rather I’m using theirs.
Interestingly, that’s where they flower. Banana growers knock the flowers off so they can’t pollinate leaving it with the black bit on the end that’s easy to open.
Huh. I’m going to start doing this. I usually open them from the stem.
EDIT: lol fixed my crazy autocorrect mistake 🤣
I Isuzu from the stem but suzuki from the bottom now, where the seed is
Whoops. Edited my comment hahaha
I do what you do. If it’s good enough for monke, it’s good enough for me.
The outside.
I brake it in half with my hands
This is the way
The stem side. I enjoy them as long as they are slightly green, so usually the skin breaks easily when bent. Otherwise I will use a sharp knife and make an horizontal incision at the start of the stem to facilitate the peeling.
I am aware of the way monkeys open them, tried and didn’t like it because of the dark mushy part at the end of the fruit, opening from the stem allows to easily leave it behind.
I use the same method for the same reason but prefer no green, instead with small brown spots (no big ones) for ideal ripeness.
Unscrew the tip of the faucet and hide it inside the faucet. Even a metal detector wouldn’t find it.

I’ve no idea what happened but yes, I totally somehow commented in the wrong thread? 😂

I take my fingernail and run it along the inner spine splitting the banana skin open so I can extract the banana. I then carefully repose the banana skin in the fruit bowl so that it appears it is an unopened banana.
This is the only correct way to eat a banana.
I like to hold the banana upright facing away from me, and then I sneak up behind it and use a really sharp knife to sever the jugular part way through before I rip its head backward, peeling the skin all the way down its spine.
It’s immensely satisfying, especially the crisp clear sound the knife makes as it cuts off the life force
While I don’t use your visualisation technique, this is the best method.
I eat it from the end opposite the stem: Just pop the nub off like a button and split from there. I have found it to be, by far, the easiest way to open a banana.
Yup. Literally just pinch the bottom nub and it’s open.
it opens by itself in the microwave oven
What
Middle out
Wow, people still quote Silicon Valley?
The outward facing part from how it grows, not where the stem is. Used to think that was the bottom, but it’s the top. Just pinch it and it opens easier every time.
I eat it with the crust.
So, for me it depends.
Do I have a knife handy? The stem. If not you can mush less from the bottom by pinching the end and pulling
Mostly snapping it in half. Sometimes the monkey end(not the stem).
This is the way. You can avoid the funky Satan’s anus portion like normal and you get to open it incredibly quickly. Bonus you get two halves that are easy to use for peanut butter + banana ‘hotdogs’.
This is the way
