I’ve always loved bananas! Suddenly I don’t really like them anymore. What is wrong with me?
Maybe you got bored of the taste; refrain from eating bananas for a little while.
Or starve yourself for approximately twelve days and the first thing you eat is a banana. I’m pretty sure you’ll like it 
You’ve evolved!
Over-exposure, my friend. One way to get sick of anything, no matter how much you love it, is to eat it constantly.
This is why hardly anybody who works at restaurants eats the food within a few months of working there, unless true desperation kicks in. (Off-menu creations not included, of course. This is why it pays to be nice to the cooks.)
FWIW though, I used to love bananas as a kid…particularly slathered with peanut butter, bite by bite, and now? shrug I eat a bite or two and get bored.
Simple. Bananas are evil.
Evidence: When I was a small child and my parents were trying to encourage me to eat healthy things they once offered me $50 to eat about an inch of banana. I wouldn’t do it.
I don’t know about you, but for me it’s adult-onset bananaphylaxis.
Are you pregnant?
I’ve not heard of bananas losing their appeal as a result of pregnancy or morning sickness, but there’s always a first time.
You’ve graduated to plantains?
Because they’re gross? No, funny enough, I am kind of the same – I used to enjoy a banana now and then, but now – while they still smell delicious – I just can’t eat them. Tastes change. But if you want my WAG as to why things like this happen – I think it’s more of an issue of your body telling you what you need (nutrient-wise) and don’t need. It’s weird, because I go through phases where I will basically crave the same thing over and over and over and then get my bloodwork done only to find out such-and-such nutrient was low – making my craving make sense.
Doing a quick search on your recent threads, it seems you might be making some changes in your life – have you by any chance recently quit smoking? The reason I ask, specifically, is this – when my husband smokes, he craves bananas all the time (smoking leaches the potassium from your system, IIRC) but during the month or so that he actually quit smoking, he had no desire at all for them. I bought a few and he let them go black – that never happens! Maybe you are getting enough of the right vitamins now? Or you could just be weird. Maybe both.
It’s unfair to bananas to stay in a relationship with them if you don’t love them. Break it off and save bananas the heartbreak of dragging out a loveless relationship. Thank Og you don’t have any kids together.
Hm. See if you can find an organic banana. Maybe there’s actually a difference in taste. Like the apples in the grocery store that are bread to be big and shiny but taste like styrofoam, whle the knobbly litle organic apples have flavor.
That’s my WAG.
You have obviously forgotten to pair them with peanut butter.
Sure, if you want to go slumming.
1 ripe banana
1 teaspoon pickle juice
2 slices of slightly stale bread
1 ounce Beluga caviar
1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
1/4 pound ground beef, raw
bacon salt to taste
Stir to combine. Serve over a bed of whipped cream.
Yum!
Where’s that thread about things that taste great, but not with other things?
Besides, bananas don’t go with peanut butter. Mayonnaise goes with peanut butter.
I hope this never happens to me! I loooove bananas. I was musing just now (after having a strawberry banana smoothie) that I think my favorite fruit is the banana and mangos and strawberries are tied for second. I only like bananas with a touch of tartness though; too soft and they’re not so good. I hope your like comes back.
If I ever want to go on a diet, I shall print this out and tape it on my refridgerator door. I predict it will be quite effective.
When I was a kid, my mom would cook liver, and it would smell divine. I would be all excited, sitting to dinner, grinning in anticipation, thinking maybe some chicken-fried steak or something was gonna hit my plate. When the liver was plopped on my plate, I was so disappointed, but I figured if it smelled that good, it must taste good. Well it didn’t. It was gross.
Then, years later, as a young adult, I fell in love with it. And not just fried…I would also simmer it in gravey and onions. Yum!
Then, boom! 5 years later, I hate it again. So yeah. I forgot my point. But, bananas are delicious.
Banana worms.
When I was a kid I would occasionally get grossed out by bananas because for some reason, my mind associated the stringy bits that you need to sometimes peel from the banana meat (under the peel) with “hid[ing] the deadly/black taran’la” from Day-o. Something about how they were like spider thread. Yeah, it was a little strange.
Hey, maybe the bananas WANT to stay in a loveless relationship. Sometimes the fruits-with-benefits thing works out for a bit, and there’s no denyin’ that bananas are eaten with more “benefits” than any other fruit on a day-to-day basis.
