Did you know that monkeys actually rarely eat bananas in the wild? And the yellow ones you're familiar with are a domesticated crop that don't exist in the wild, carefully bred to have a far higher sugar content than wild bananas. In fact, they're so sugary that they give monkeys diabetes. Never feed a monkey a banana, it's not good for them, just give them some almonds or cashews.

Yeah, that's why they're safe for monkeys to eat, they're not crazy-loaded with sugar. Wild bananas are more fibrous and only have a subtle sweetness to them.

. . . tall cruets of pale banana syrup to pour oozing over banana waffles, a giant glazed crock where diced bananas have been fermenting since the summer with wild honey and muscat raisins, up out of which, this winter morning, one now dips foam mugsfull of banana mead . . . banana croissants and banana kreplach, and banana oatmeal and banana jam and banana bread, and bananas flamed in ancient brandy Pirate brought back last year from a cellar in the Pyrenees also containing a clandestine radio transmitter. . . .
