    Bananas and milk
    I just had this weird memory of my bio mom feeding me a chopped up banana in a bowl, sprinkled with sugar and milk poured over it, like cold cereal except minus the cereal. I've never eaten this as a teen or an adult, and I forgot all about it until just now. Is this something that other people eat too? Just curious.

    I have never eaten this before, but my mum used to chop up a banana put it in a bowl and spinkle sugar over it. I think it was her way of trying to encourage me to eat something that was good and healthy for me. I never used to like bananas and I still don't - but my mums way of trying was by putting sugar on it - but even with her efforts it still didn't work. Bless her for trying though xx

    Hi, Orange,
    Copped up banana, with milk and sugar. Sounds good.
    I've never eaten this either, without cereal added to it.
    Either I read the answer previous to this one wrong, or DJ said she hadn't, then said she had! Anyway, it does sound good.

    Hey, DJ,
    It's hard sometimes to read everything; I do it, too.
    Hope you get some rest, and hope you have a great day.
    Best wishes.

    Thanks guys.. hmmm. Weird. I wonder if my mom made it up herself? I searched on Google for a while last night and couldn't find anything about it, either.

    Hi all

    Yes. I can remember having banana with milk as a child - I think it may have been one of the earliest and cheapest fresh fruits available in the post war days.

    On a similar refrain, one use of bananas I brought back to the UK with me from Brazil was banana plus any other fruits available, "blitzed" with milk - (we never added sugar). The kids loved it and it is as popular these days with thr grand-kids. We have always used the Brazilian term "vitaminas" but of course it is more commonly known as "smoothies" these days. (Wish I had had the idea of marketing it!! ) ;)

    I had this as a kid in the late 40's - early 50's, it definitely was the cheapest kind of "fresh fruit" everything else was canned (postwar rationing).
    True luxury was replacing the regular milk with tinned condensed milk which was much creamier.

    Hi Zipper - thanks for the reminder - Condensed was the creamy white milk - so Evaporated was the thick ultra sweet yellow-ish one which we kids (when our parents backs were turned) made into sandwiches. I am now cringing just at the thought of it!! :D

    Milk is really nasty stuff that's not too good for you I am afraid. But, to each their own. Hi Milliec! How are things going in G*D's country?

    1.milk - we have friends who decided to stay on a macrobiotic diet 35 yrs. Ago one of the things they haven't touched since, is milk. They say that milk induces the epithelia in different organs (like the nose) to secret more fluids. According to them' it's enough to stop drinking milk, and that's it.
    But - I LOVE milk!
    (especially condensed!)
    2. god's land - feels like we have to thank daily if we make it safe back home. Not just the neverending war, but crime is getting worst my the minute
    And as you know, we t had another suicide bomb this week - otherwise:
    The weather is at it's best, the whole country looks like god's huge garden
    And it seems that everyone's on the beach
    Bye,
    Millie:)

    While I have seen it done, I do not eat it myself. My great gran used to eat this as well as crackers with milk in a bowl. I think it is a depression era food.

    Oh that's interesting about it being a depression era food, Hypatia. My mother was born after the depression, but perhaps she got it from her mother. Thanks for your response!
