Hey this is the first post of 2008. Aren't you excited? Well you should be because this time I'm introducing a new... segment if you will. This segment of the blog is called Food of the Week.
!

Ok Ok, I know what you're thinking... actually, no, I don't know what you're thinking. But if you knew what I was thinking, you'd already know that the food of the week is....


Banana!

The banana is the quintessential commuter's fruit. Not only is that fun to say, but it's true. The banana has been a mainstay in the knapsacks of working class and professional lunch-packers alike for, you know, a long time. Whether it be by bus, bicycle, on foot, in a car, or on various types of trains, the banana withstands the rigors of your daily commute. Go ahead, see for yourself.

Bananas are animals that travel in packs. As a banana grows it sheds its smaller peel and moves into a bigger one. A banana may do this as many as 7 times in its lifespan.

I always get the same question about bananas: 'If I don't eat my younger banana within a few days, is there any chance it will shed its peel and venture out across my counter looking for a new peel to inhabit?'

My answer is always the same: Yes.

But only if you have a bigger spare peel laying around.
Most likely they'll just turn brown.

Love,
The City
