If you're eating a banana and there's a black patch on it, do you still eat it? I'm quite sure it's safe to do so yet I always cut around it and throw it away.

I have gone off bananas at the moment. But when I do eat bananas I eat the black bits unless they are really mushy then I wipe that bit out.

No I never eat the black bit although I'm sure it wouldn't harm you.

I agree!

I think the black bits are only where the banana has been bruised so probably wouldn't do you any harm at all. Having said that, I always cut them out!

I suppose it's gut instinct not to eat something that looks mouldy. Which is why I have never tasted certain types of cheese.

I hardly ever just eat a banana, but love them in sandwiches.

Never have eaten the black bits though. Even my gran, when I was small, used to cut them out and throw them away before she gave me the banana.

Only time I would consider using black bits is if I was cooking with bananas or making a smoothie.

The black bits are quite safe. It is just sugar. I only eat cooked bananas. They are fantastic grilled with bacon wrapped around them.

I must try that. I'm still a fan of crunchy peanut butter and banana toasties. When I'm allowed of course.

Who likes mashed banana with sugar and milk?

Well I used to like banana custard which I suppose is similar. Haven't had it for years though.
