No ice cream? NOT a banana split!

May 13, 2009

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.

Baby Gorilla. Not snob.

Using the blog…

THE BANANA BLOG is about the world's most endangered - and dangerous - fruit. THE BIG PARADE is about stairways, route and transit geekery, and pedestrian pursuits in Los Angeles. You can also read all the topics at once, which might also include productivity, geekery, DIY whatever, mountain biking, stuff that I think is funny that nobody else likely will, and other boring, useless crap.

Read and Buy Some Books

Nobel Prize winner Paul Krugman recommends it. Listen to my interview on NPR's Fresh Air. My own op-ed in the New York Times.
