This morning the banana was pushed away and he was nearly in tears until I gave him some peel to eat.

However, my 3 year old refuses to eat them if presented this way round, complaining they are upside-down – luckily she will eat them skin-off…

Are the skins hallucinogenic or is that a student urban myth that I totally fell for!?

Banana fingers, my kids call them. They are the perfect size for baby fingers to hold.
