The mission trip group at school sold fruit baskets this year. I knew they would be good because we have a school family who runs a fruit distribution center. They supply grocery stores, etc. Anyway, I wanted to get something because it would be so good, and when I read the description of the giant tropical basket, I had to have it. Included in the basket were one “hand” of red bananas, and one “hand” of Manazano bananas. I really wanted to try these. As far as I can remember, the only bananas I’ve had are Cavendish, so I was anxious to taste these new ones.
The basket came on Friday. I immediately opened it, and discovered that none of the fruit was ripe yet. They packed it just shy of ripe so I would have time to eat it I guess. Well, I don’t have time to eat it. I fly to Nebraska today. I did go on the SS TSA website and they did say I could carry-on fruit in the peel, but that’s no guarantee some agent won’t just take them. Dang.
I’ll try anyway. I really want to taste them. Plus, the vitamins might help me get over the terrible cold I seem to have developed just in time for Christmas vacation.
