muculent

Depends on the state of the banana I suppose. I used to do the bunch end but it’d always end up mushing it a bit. I find just apply some pressure with a thumbnail and peeling it had better results. I remember being taught that way years back and it’s worked sense. The bunch end might easily come off if it’s ripened a bit I suppose.

I also thought it was strange. Sounds like the much easier part?

Open a banana from the seed end and not the bunch end. It’s much easier.
