How to eat a banana
In everyday life, it is quite easy to cope with a banana - just peel it off with your hands and eat it by biting off a piece. But at ceremonial receptions, this fruit according to the rules of etiquette should be consumed somewhat differently.
So, if the banana is served to the table already peeled and cut into pieces, just prick it with a fork and send it into your mouth. From large slices should be cut into smaller ones that will be conveniently chewed. And not peeled banana slices should first be freed from the peel with a knife and fork in your plate.
In what form can you eat a banana
It is especially useful to use bananas fresh, as in this form they retain all vitamins and minerals. They can be a great breakfast for children and adults, as well as a snack, because these fruits quickly saturate and provide a natural burst of energy, since they contain fructose, glucose and sucrose.
The perfect energy breakfast is whole-cereal flakes or oatmeal with slices of fresh bananas.
Fresh bananas can also be used to prepare various desserts or cocktails. They can also be added to berry and fruit salad, sweet cereals, sweets or various pastries: pies, muffins, puddings and other products.
No less interesting is a side dish of bananas, which can be served with both meat and fish dishes. To prepare it, peel a couple of bananas, cut into large pieces, sprinkle with your favorite types of pepper, roll in an egg and breadcrumbs. Then fry in olive oil until golden brown.
And in Cuba, local chefs offer banana fries to visitors to restaurants, which can be used as a snack for Cuban rum or alcoholic cocktails based on it.
