    Depends on how ripe they are. Before they go spotty the stem end is usually thicker than the blossom end, so I open from the bottom. Once it’s ripe then the stem is usually much easier.

      Yeah I usually prefer a banana a little on the green side, so its bottom for me.

      The right? With the stem facing you or away from you. Either way it’s a bit weird to open a banana from the side.

    The stem - even if the other side is more optimal, I hate the brown bit, so I prefer to open at the stem (which isn’t usually that hard) and throw that part away when I get to the end.

    Neither side. You break it in half. Am I the only person that does this?

      With a needle and thread? I tried that once when I was a kid, but I couldn’t get it to work.

    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.

      I do what you do. If it’s good enough for monke, it’s good enough for me.

      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.

    The back, that way the peel stays in one large easy-to-dispose-of piece instead of a fragile octopus
