wev been food shopping online for a year now. often we buy things without checking the weight and have ended up with tiny bags of sugar/flour when expecting the big packs, as they look the same in the foto. often i have thought id ordered a pack of bananas to receive just one solitary one. :innocent:
this time i was very careful order 10 bananas not realising they were packs of ten - so alas i have 80 bananas in the cupboard...whoops...all ripe and ready to eat.
recipes ideas anyone? ... :roflanim: :roflanim:
:innocent:

Banana fritters :thumbsup: made some the other night..naughty but very nice...loads of maple syrup :thumbsup:
-
I use tesco , hate the company but they are the only ones who deliver here and i don't want to starve just yet .
But if there is anything i don't want , even if i have just changed my mind , i can just send it back and get full refund .
Obviously , if you are getting goods delivered by courier in a box , that is a different kettle of fish , or bunch of bananas !
What to do with a lorry load of 'nanas ? , lots of visits to the monkey house at a zoo ?
-
Oops!!
Does anyone nearby have one of those dehydrators so you could make dried banana slices ?
I think banana cake freezes, but watch that flour order quantity :-DDD
-
i saw the title and came in here to moderate you all for inappropriate subject material, turns out its just my dirty mind...
can't help with the bananas they are the fruit of the devil and should all just be binned as they are nasty!!!
-
Bananas take a long time to dehydrate in a machine so works out quite costly, we use the stove just ticking over with the door open and it works fine.
-
Yes, make loads of banana cake and
send it to me freeze it for later ;D
-
Can I send my :goat: round to yours.... they would form an orderly queue I promise!
Banana milk shakes loved here, and also banana bread of course... but 80, that's quite a few cakes that is...
-
order 10 bananas not realising they were packs of ten
Is that not 100?
Most supermarkets will take back anything you have made a mistake with - I would say 80 or 100 bananas was a very obvious one and your driver should have offered the question 'did you mean to order so many bananas?'
-
This doesn't help but, a while back, we ordered wholemeal muffins, which we enjoy with scrambled eggs and smoked salmon as a Sunday breakfast treat from time to time. They were obviously out of stock and they substituted................Chocolate Chip Muffins :P NOT.
-
the kids have found it hysterical, especially as they have witnessed the delivery of the single banana many times :roflanim: :roflanim:

:roflanim: :roflanim: :roflanim: , made a few mistakes myself but those who know me, know we go shopping now just for bargains.......I have also done similar...................I think maybe go around and donate a few bananas to the school after your run in........ :thumbsup:

They should have lived a few decades back. My Mum came from a not well off background, and remembers as a little girl the treat of eating an apple all of her own, and that she had finished eating it, another little girl asked if she could have the core to eat.....bet she wouldn't have turned down rhubarb.....

I remember getting a stick or rhubarb with some sugar in a paper bag as a treat

what happened to the other 20?!
If you have goats, or pigs they'll be well chuffed - or sell some on to someone that has!
Love banana cake, chuck a few sultanas in.
make milkshake or smoothies & stick 'em in the freezer? Banana yogurt?
-

me too :thumbsup:
-
Banana cake freezes well, and all my ponies love bananas.
Bit worried re the rhubarb, I am making apple pies next week (cheese scones tomorrow, yum) with my class using apples from our orchard, hope I am not going to upset the Safety Elf.
-
Ah - the good old days.
Old men could talk to children and give them rhubard sticks with a newspaper cone of sugar and we could all then get the subsequent dental care on the NHS. :roflanim:

and bob a job day had no hidden mean :innocent:
can liquidized nana be frozen?
-
Er , poor old nana may have something to say about that !
Oooo , soylent green and custard eh ?
-
I once (deliberately) bought a load of bananas as they were going very cheap, and turned them into banana wine.
Actually, it was too sweet so I then turned it into banana liqueur which was scrummy but when I gave some to my new man (now my husband) he knocked it back like milkshake and got pretty drunk.
-
:cold: frozen nana :roflanim:
-
Banana jam. Or banana and rhubarb jam. Had this at a b and b in France once. It was great, but I've never tried to make it myself...too frightened
-
Have heard that if you mash them up and freeze in a suitable container you have banana ice cream. Let us know if it works as we would probably do this and then use in smoothies.
-
Try this - instant banana icecream.

I thought of this thread today when I did see Banana Jam in B&M. I made a Banana Omelette after it being suggested on here and I was so sick, I do not think I can digest too much banana!
