Talking of bananas I read some time back that SA exports a huge amount of fruit to the UK. But it was the bananas that interested me. They are apparently picked green - loaded into the container ships - and one or two days before landing at Southhampton or wherever, a gas is pumped into the hold which immediately ripens them before off-loading.

Can I make a suggestion. We start a "food/recipe/country food tradition" thread where we can post anything related to food. We have a music thread, why not a food thread.

What about it Jimbuna?

I read somewhere that where they actually grow bananas, people can't understand us wanting to eat the particularly tasteless variety we do in the UK, when other local varieties are much, much tastier. Of course it's down to things like size of yield and keeping qualities of the variety we eat. I'd really like to know if this is true from someone who lives in one of these countries.

Also, it may sound disgusting, but have you ever had a banana sandwich? Really good, but probably could be a lot tastier with the better varieties.

Must admit not a big fan of fried bread myself.
No doesn't look anything near what I saw. After the woman toke the fried sandwich up it looked like fried chicken, that what I thought they looked like.

If I only knew what the stuff, she dipped the half sandwiches in, before fried was.

Deep fried jam sarnie. I used to have the in my teens after air cadets on a Friday evening from Tony's Chippy. He's long gone, wouldn't know where to get one now but they were delicious (and very hot inside).

Jalapeno Spam cut thin then fried to a crispy brown with Velveeta cheese melted on top.
Add a bit of honey mustard to the toasted rye bread holding it.

Now I'm hungry!

Technically : a sandwich; actually: a NOSHGarlic bagel with Smoked Salmon, crème cheese, onion, capers and sliced tomato to taste-my only serious vice. Had one today after sailing... some assembly required
