What side do you open a banana from?

the outside
- Oh... That makes sense.
  The outside...
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.
- Huh. I'm going to start doing this. I usually open them from the stem.
  EDIT: lol fixed my crazy autocorrect mistake 🤣
  
  I Isuzu from the stem but suzuki from the bottom now, where the seed is
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.

  lol I cut that tip off
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.
Unscrew the tip of the faucet and hide it inside the faucet. Even a metal detector wouldn't find it.
Centre. With a knife. Because I rarely eat more than half a banana at a time.
- Same but I don't use a knife, you can just snap bananas in half with your bare hands!
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.
From the stop light side.
Neither side. You break it in half. Am I the only person that does this?
- Zatoichi approves.

Why open the banana? Just eat it from the bottom
