She can eat it cooked - like in banana bread

Ok at the risk of sounding stupid here, what other way is there to eat a banana than peeling the skin off and eating it?

If you have ragweed allergy -IF YOU SUFFER FROM HAY fever, you could exacerbate your allergies by eatingcertain foods.Research shows that bananas, cantaloupes, cucumbers, honeydew, watermelon, and zucchini, as well as chamomile and echinacea, contain

proteins in their pollen that resemble the pollen found in ragweed.So if you react to ragweed, you could very well react to these foods and herbs.Hay fever sufferers should avoid these foods during ragweed season,

which lasts from mid-August to the first frost, when their reaction would be most severe, says Leonard Bielory, M.D., director of the Asthma and Allergy Research Center at the New Jersey Medical School in Newark, N.J.

In Cuba, they were often cut into small chunks and deep fried, or cut into small chunks and baked, like crisps (potato chips as I believe you call them?). A common camp pudding with Guides here is bananas sliced down the middle, filled with chocolate chips and marshmallows, wrapped in tinfoil and put in the embers of a campfire.

Jenn (who hates bananas - they are evil and must be stopped!)

Tha can tek t'lass outta Yorkshire...!

Don't brand me, don't classify me, don't tell me what to wear. I'll be who I want to be, and I'm proud to be me.
