Did you know people eat banana skins? Do you think they're any good?

My Papa used to eat them, sometimes. I couldn't figure out whether it was: for the shock value; because he actually enjoyed them; or, because he'd had a stroke and could only do things with one hand and his mouth (he was also missing one front tooth, but that probably didn't complicate things too much), so maybe he just got tired of trying to peel them. I thought the memory of him actually *eating* the skins was my imagination... I thought maybe he just peeled them with his mouth. But recently my cousin brought it up, asking me if I remembered it. Maybe they have a lot of vitamins in them.

Today when I ate a banana I thought of your Papa.
