  • Was it that our bananas were too straight or did the EU want to foist bent bananas on us? I was never clear on which way round it was. Either way we will now get the bananas we deserve.

  • Commission regulation 2257/94 decreed that bananas in general should be “free from malformation or abnormal curvature”. Those sold as “extra class” must be perfect, “class 1” can have “slight defects of shape” and “class 2” can have full-scale “defects of shape”.

    Now we can have abnormally bendy ones. #takingbackcontrol

    Except that we always could, they were just classified differently.
