The New York Times has been very kind to me, but one has to say that a banana split where:
- There’s no strawberry, pineapple, or chocolate sauce.
- There’s something called “ganache.”
- There are no nuts.
- The dish is not “boat” shaped.
- AND ICE CREAM IS FREAKIN’ OPTIONAL!!!!
has to be a bunch of hooey and snobbery. Get it together. Really.
Here’s NYT’s “banana split,” which is suitable only for fellows like the gentleman pictured below.
.
Snob.
Here’s the real deal at BananasWeb, and the kind of fella who’d enjoy such a treat.
