Unless I'm making banana bread. In that case, the blacker the better.

15. Not. At. All!
I hate bananas. Might have something to do with having sulfasalazine crushed in them when I was 11.

20. Peeled and a day or two of warming them up!
But not brown or squishy. Yuck!

I do use the brown and squishy for banana bread or pancakes though.

I voted 'other'.

22. Spotted
Spotted bananas taste the best by far. I wonder how anyone could find a greenish banana appealing in any way :crazy:.

31. That's correct
Most people in this country prefer unripe bananas. Hell nearly all the fruit in markets are unripe.

34. I like them when they start getting spots but before they go squishy.
My favorite way to eat them is to slice them in a bowl and add a little sugar, half & half and just a drop or two of vanilla.
