Banana Split

Jab it

Poke it

Tear it

Rip it

Cut it

Slice it

Break it

or of course

you can

Split it

It all has the same ending

Banana Split

Banana peel

Peeling a banana

everyone has their own theory about this

I for one follow this procedure every time

jab my thumb nail in the base of the stem

then break its neck by pushing backwards

the separation is clean

then peel downwards each section

but not quite all the way

if any veins are left peel them too

grab the fruit and break it free from the tip.

Then there are the others

the ones that favor a sharp knife

it’s faster but of course more brutal.
