    They are so much easier to peel if you peel from the bottom, like monkeys do!

    I've never even thought of starting at the bottom. I will have to try that.  The things you learn when you least expect it!

    I have always done it from the top - nick it first with a sharp knife if it's a bit tough, then peel down. I've never really thought about it, but I will have to try it the other way now, just to see!

    You can peel a banana from the bottom? I never knew that option existed.

    Always from the top. Just seems like the logical way to do it.

    I have never had a problem opening it from the top so never felt the need to try it any other way !

    I open it from the bottom. When trying to open it from the top, I would always have to use a knife, especially if the banana had time to get a bit soft of the stem was very tough. Then I learned that monkeys open bananas from the bottom. I tried it out and have been doing it that way since with no difficulty at all, which I very much enjoy.

    Yep. I do it like the monkeys. The stem end never opens right and ends up squishing banana everywhere. The other end is just a pinch and a peel (but you have to pick out that big nub of super bitter seeds first).

    I never even thought of peeling from the bottom.  That's truly an example of thinking outside the box!
