Now that this Government is finally getting rid of this so called EU legislation, can we have our 100% British bendy bananas back, or are these Brussels pen-pushers still going to interfere with our lives?
I thought you could always buy smaller or bendier bananas, you just had to buy "class 2" bananas, such as you sometimes found cheaper in Lidl but rarely in Tesco or Sainsbury's.
Is there much differnce bewtween bananas from differnet countries as far as taste goes. As a few weeks ago I had some colombian bananas bought from the co-op which I didn't like. They has some small seeds in the centre which tasted quite bitter and stringy in the centre. Not sure if it was a one off bunch but I've avoided buying colombian bananas since.
I thought it was Jacob Rees-Mogg who was personally going to go through all the 'EU Laws', but gave up when all could find was that the EU had sabotaged the distances between the signage in the Dartford Tunnel.
Was that tongue-in cheek? Maybe, but of course we never did have to buy EU Bananas. The only place in the EU with a banana crop of any size is the Canary Islands and they don't produce anything like enough.
We _did_ in the EU have to import bananas from places with certain minimum standards of workers rights and environmental protection and certain simple standards of the product. there was also some favourable arrangement with former colonies I think. It was all good, but brexiters are stupid.
I think it must be the way they are transported and stored, as all dessert bananas are clones (or, strictly speaking *a clone*). They have to be propagated vegetatively as they are sterile.
