Learnt from my grandmother to eat plenty bananas before bedtime. It helped with my asthma and swear too that it did wonders for my sleep.

Usually had it with a hot curry at dinner time or dessert (sliced bananas, cubed apples and evaparoted milk.)

I knew a guy that would eat a banana per beer. He would portion the bananas out beforehand, so we could tell he was serious when he showed up to a stag-do with two bunches!

Bananas aren't high in potassium. That's a myth. A banana has 450mg and a potato has 650mg.

What it won't help with is mosquitos. They LOVE banana-flavored people.

Learned it from first hand experience.

What do you get out of evaporated milk that you can't get from milk?

...plenty? That's at least more than 2 for me. Can you eat 3+ bananas in one sitting? Are we talking really small, average or big bananas?
