Title: A discussion on bananas
Post by: Hyperspeed on September 01, 2004, 05:57:38 AM
I haven't posted in the GENERAL thread before so I thought I'd break
from tradition.

Inspired by that dancing banana GIF I would like to know your thoughts
on everyone's favourite fruit.

Did you know for example that bananas contain trace amounts of
hallucinogens, and as we speak scientists are seeking funding for an
Australian banana-powered electricity generator?

...

Damnit, I can't get the dancing banana GIF...    someone help!

Here's an interesting fact on bananas: the number of dancing banana gifs used in a post is inversely proportional to the poster's IQ.

Hehe, I'd never guess that Cecilia was a fan of the dancing banana...

However, I'm most intrigued about the blueberry beer.  Tell me more....  Pretty please?

I'm not a big fruit person, but I'd probably have to say white flesh peaches and nectarines are my favorite.

I absolutely adore passion fruit.
However the licking and slurping necessary to eat them - I'm serious, some deft tongue work is needed - might put some people off :lol:

this is where i had blueberry beer (http://www.chelseabrewingco.com/)
what i love about fruit beers is that they are incredibly refreshing. and i really enjoyed the subtle smell of  blueberries in this version.

<>  Mmmmmm, fruit beer....

It's Beer Festival time in sunny North Essex next week and one chap usually turns up with a supply of Belgian fruit beers, which as well as being very refreshing and different are also strong enough to reduce me to an diotic wreck in a short space of time.  Some of them have a strength exceeding 8% but the alcohol taste is masked by the fruit.  

There's usually a selection of raspberry, strawberry and loganberry beers there, and if I see either banana or blueberry then I'll bring a bottle back for you Cecilia!
