That's for sure! I usually share with many people but they were so ugly and I didn't want to have to tell everyone to just remove the dry area where they split, so I only shared with a few people and ate a ton myself. For some reason the taste was different than the last bunch and they were extremely astringent and starchy until fully ripe. I'll have another PK bunch ready in 6 months and I'll be careful to get it down before splitting this time around!

Jen, congrats!

I must say, your pose with your nanners reminds me a little of a Ty Ty ad. No offense intended!

OMG a ty ty ad!!! Harvy! That is awful! Crap, I'm so deleting that picture.
Regardless of my cheezy picture, I tasted it today and it was...well...different. It was tart and kinda strawberry like. I don't know I will have to eat some more and figure it out. No more ripe ones yet but I think I will let the next one sit longer and see if it gets less tart. I'm now going to see if I can take my stupid picture off. Too late everyones already seen it but at least it won't live on forever. I wanted to have a picture holding the whole thing but I didn't cut it down I only cut one hand. Okay, it was cheezy. hee hee But I was so darn excited!!! I've calmed down and the excitement has worn off a little. All back to normal. Jen

You might want to wait and let it ripen a lot more. Kinda just before it starts to get brown specks. If you buy those green bananas from Costco, and you eat them before they are fully ripe, I bet you, what you had just now was 10 times better.

You guys are so funny! Harvey don't you feel bad for one second, I totally resembled a ty ty ad. I got a good laugh out of that post and it was all in fun. No worries!

Chong, your right about the bananas. My husband ate half and he was blown away. He was not expecting such a strong "taste". He loved them. It was better than those tasteless costco ones. They were good just so different. I will try letting the next one sit longer.

Can we do a poll?

All those in favor of returning the picture? Reply with a "Yes"

Opposed? reply with "I am out of touch with the common man and wish to vote conscientiously to reflect my negative viewpoint of the entire fun-loving world. So I oppose everything because it supports my gloomy disposition."

I vote Yes
