Each has their own flavour and culinary use. The fruit shops sold loads of varieties, too, and we couldn't resist buying the tiny ones no bigger than your thumb. When peeled, the banana was the size of a lolly!<br /><br />As an aside, I hadn't realised you were so close to Chatsworth House! It a place I'd love to visit one day but in the meantime, they have an Instagram account that I like to follow and on the Sotheby's website right now, there's a series of 13 x 4-5 minute videos entitled 'The Treasures of Chatsworth' featuring marvellous glimpses into some of their art and collectables. There are interviews with the Laird and his family as well as a couple of living artists who were commissioned in recent times, and narrated by Downton Abbey's "Carson". It's a diverting way to spend a bit of screentime!Pipistrellohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07904613196101010022noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13883584.post-3489199225586012572019-04-12T00:20:15.523+01:002019-04-12T00:20:15.523+01:00They weren't bananas Red!
