hm, I think I’ve been doing it wrong then …
I used to open it from the stem side, but then I saw video of a monkey open from the bottom… I tried it and it was easier to open especially the less ripe ones.
Yes, butt:
I also saw a video of a monkey peeling it from the stem side and then proceeding to clean it of all those stringy bits before finally eating it.
Here it is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FIc5kTth1lE
lol I cut that tip off

Also when you drop the peel on the ground for someone to comically slip on, it looks like it does in the cartoons.
The bottom. Which I guess is the bit without the sticky out but that it’s snapped of a bunch with. You just squeeze the bottom black bit and it opens up.
Most people I see pull the top but that’s more unreliable. I believe monkeys will use my technique, or rather I’m using theirs.
Interestingly, that’s where they flower. Banana growers knock the flowers off so they can’t pollinate leaving it with the black bit on the end that’s easy to open.
I do what you do. If it’s good enough for monke, it’s good enough for me.
The outside.
The stem side. I enjoy them as long as they are slightly green, so usually the skin breaks easily when bent. Otherwise I will use a sharp knife and make an horizontal incision at the start of the stem to facilitate the peeling.
I am aware of the way monkeys open them, tried and didn’t like it because of the dark mushy part at the end of the fruit, opening from the stem allows to easily leave it behind.
I use the same method for the same reason but prefer no green, instead with small brown spots (no big ones) for ideal ripeness.
I brake it in half with my hands
This is the way
I take my fingernail and run it along the inner spine splitting the banana skin open so I can extract the banana. I then carefully repose the banana skin in the fruit bowl so that it appears it is an unopened banana.
This is the only correct way to eat a banana.
I eat it from the end opposite the stem: Just pop the nub off like a button and split from there. I have found it to be, by far, the easiest way to open a banana.
Yup. Literally just pinch the bottom nub and it’s open.
That’s the way monkeys eat them. It’s the easiest way
Unscrew the tip of the faucet and hide it inside the faucet. Even a metal detector wouldn’t find it.

What
The outward facing part from how it grows, not where the stem is. Used to think that was the bottom, but it’s the top. Just pinch it and it opens easier every time.
I like to hold the banana upright facing away from me, and then I sneak up behind it and use a really sharp knife to sever the jugular part way through before I rip its head backward, peeling the skin all the way down its spine.
It’s immensely satisfying, especially the crisp clear sound the knife makes as it cuts off the life force
While I don’t use your visualisation technique, this is the best method.
Middle out
Wow, people still quote Silicon Valley?
I eat it with the crust.
Sorta left of center. That is I usually cut the top third off and give it to my cockatoo who likes the stubby bit to hang onto while he eats the inside and then proceeds to tear the non edible parts apart (he pretty much likes to tear everything apart). Barrring that I do the standard way even though I am aware how the other way is supposed to work better. I just can’t resist the pull tab.
