I’d rather give up on dessert than eat some disgusting overripe banana all day.

I’m absolutely shocked that so many people would choose to eat a mushy banana EVERY SINGLE DAY! Why? So you can keep eating dessert?

Come on people, not only is that horrifying, but it’s a sign that you are WEAK. Think of this decision as a great way to force yourself into healthier eating habits.

Gah! When bananas lose the slightly green tinge at the ends I can no longer eat them alone and they are destined for a smoothie or banana nut bread. That being said, I could never give up sweets entirely, so I’d gag down the nasty black banana rather than suffer a pointless life with no ice cream.

Most people throw away or discard bananas when they’re at their best. People are thrown off by their “discolor” but that’s just the sugars coming out and the best tasting bit….although there is something to be said about the texture.

Maybe I’m crazy but I LOVE overripe bananas. True, the one you described in the post is a little riper than I would normally go for, but I absolutely hate when bananas are a little too firm. Yay squishy bananas!

No! Eat your spinach or you don’t get any ice cream! And your mother and I aren’t going to leave the table till you finish that spinach! Hurry! You know I don’t like to miss an episode of Simon and Simon!

Does it count if I have Ice Cream for dinner and then forgo the spinach for dessert?

Gag. Overripe bananas are soooo disgusting, but I still picked option one. I would just gobble the banana as quickly as possible, then chase it with a milkshake or something.
I don’t think I could give up cheesecake…

Well, I remember eating thin mints after dinner growing up, as a dessert.

So, for me, cookies (even girl scout species) are considered a dessert.

@Cary. It does not say sweet it says dessert!

I will agree some cookies I guess can be classified as a desert. Im not the biggest fan of sweets, but a girl scout thin mint to me is not a dessert.

But I could give up a dessert. I would rather have a peanut butter and jelly sandwich late night than some ice cream.

@Antonio

Wait, cookies aren’t a dessert? I can almost understand your problem with candy, but if cookies aren’t dessert then my name isn’t Cary. Which it is, no internet anonymity here.

I’ll allow that “dessert” is a rather nebulous term, but if you love it, and it’s sweet, YOU CAN’T HAVE IT EVER AGAIN. make your choice, don’t give me this life is gray stuff.

Whoa! What a question. Banana is a important source of a good nutrient in our diet. But I’d be lying to say that I’d go with banana and not care about the lovely treats. Specially if they are made from any Vanilla recipes.

It is all in how you classify a dessert. Sweets and deserts are two different things. I don;t classify all cookies as a desert, nor do I classify th sweet preztels at Auntie Anne’s. And candy is not a dessert.

I love dessert, but overripe bananas are icky.
But I can’t give up cupcakes and pie and cheesecake and cookies….
