A guy at work reckoned that simian primates eat bananas by holding the stalk and peeling from the closed end. It is reckoned to be sweeter that end and they discard some of the flesh from t'other end.
I tried it and it is not difficult to start the peel, if anything easier. Sweeter? I need more research. And Red bananas are out of season, but they are definitely sweeter.
So how do other 'Catters eat bananas?

my colleague also insists that they don't grow on trees but the banana plant is a herb? but he modified that to a herbacious plant.
